“Wanted to announce that today is the 15th of August, and today marks six years that I have been free of anorexia and bulimia and all of my other food compulsion and eating disorders that I have struggled through for many years,” Baldwin shared in the video.
“And today marks six years. So, you can do it,” she encouraged others battling with eating disorders.
According to People, Baldwin first opened up about her eating disorder history on Instagram back in 2018, writing at the time, “I battled with many eating disorders and body issues as a younger girl and it took me a long time to find self love and acceptance! Trust me, all of that pain and destruction I inflicted on myself wasn’t worth it. Turning down so. Many. Sides. Of. Fries. Wasn’t worth it!!”
