Taylor admitted in the documentary that she'd often starve herself to the point of feeling she was about to pass out on stage.
Getty Images, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival on Thursday night, Taylor revealed that she would often starve herself to the point of feeling she was about to pass out on stage.She said:"I thought I was supposed to feel like I was going to pass out at the end of a show, or in the middle of it. Now I realise, no, if you eat food, have energy, get stronger, you can do all these shows and not feel enervated.
Taylor, 30, went on to say that she's felt under constant pressure to meet a"fucking impossible" standard of beauty throughout her career.She explained:"There's always some standard of beauty that you're not meeting. Because, if you're thin enough, then you don't have that ass that everybody wants. But if you have enough weight on you to have an ass, then your stomach isn't flat enough. It's all just fucking impossible.
She also revealed that when her eating disorder was at its worst, she would make lists of everything she ate, exercised constantly and routinely starved herself."I would have defended it to anybody who said, 'I'm concerned about you,'" she went on, before admitting that her response to concern was:"'What are you talking about? Of course I eat. I exercise a lot.' And I did exercise a lot. But I wasn't eating.
And while Taylor now accepts she's"no longer a size double zero" and fights the urge to be critical about her body, she still avoids looking at photos of herself in case it's triggering.She said:"It's better to think you look fat than to look sick. I tend to get triggered by something — whether it’s a picture of me where I feel like my tummy looked too big, or someone said that I looked pregnant or something.
