Katharine McPhee battled bulimia for years before revealing in 2010 that she had overcome the eating disorder
Katharine McPhee has learned to give herself grace when it comes to her health and nutrition after struggling with an eating disorder for years.
McPhee explains that whether it’s a stop at Burger King — which she tells Us was her most-recent indulgence courtesy of her husband David Foster, who is “obsessed” with the chain — or drinking a milkshake, it doesn’t matter — she’s listening to her body. “I had a lot of issues around food,” she recalls. “And the more pressure that I had put on myself, like, ‘Oh, my God, it's the holidays. Don't go crazy. You can't eat this,’ the more crazy that I went.”
'Now I'm more easygoing,' she told the publication. 'I stopped fighting myself and became more forgiving of my body. Ironically, the weight came off naturally through exercise but no dieting.' It took the Smash alum time to realize that feeling “ravenous” in her first trimester wasn’t the “eating disordered-version” of her, but what she needed to fuel her body during pregnancy. Since welcoming her son in February 2021, McPhee has continued to embrace her body's signals.
McPhee continues, “I don't feel pressure on myself, just the more pressure you put on a certain time, the more you're likely to overindulge. So that is the principle I live by — not setting such rigid rules for myself.”
