Camila Mendes spent years battling an eating disorder

“When you’re in your early 20s, like, your body is fluctuating …my body hadn’t settled into itself yet. I was looking at myself, taking myself apart. My stomach, you know, my arms, my chin, anything – I would obsess over.”

Camila – who played Veronica Lodge in ‘Riverdale’ – said her personal struggles off-camera interfered with her acting work, adding it “really f**** with your process.”

However, she sought help and was able to work with a nutritionist to conquer her fears – which included an aversion to carbohydrates.

The actress went on: “I was really afraid of eating carbs, and what would happen is I would avoid it for a long period of time, and then I would binge and eat a bunch and then purge.

“So it was this, like, terrible cycle. She [the nutritionist] helped me overcome that by reintroducing bread into my life to be like, ‘See, it’s not going to kill you’.”

Camila earlier uploaded an encouraging Instagram post in which she declared she was “#donewithdieting” and has now learned to accept her body.
