Desperate Housewives' Felicity Huffman's childhood Illness

felicity huffman

Felicity Huffman revealed recently that she suffered from bulimia as a teenager.  I wonder if her ultra thin cast members know this….Maybe certain cast members could learn a thing of two from Felicity’s experience…

The actress who is currently playing a transsexual in ‘TransAmerica’ plays Lynette Scavo in the drama series.

Speaking to USA Today about the illness that haunted her teenage years Huffman said: “As an actress, I was never thin enough, never pretty enough. My boobs weren’t big enough.

“I was throwing up all the time, figuring out what foods you can throw up and what foods you can’t.

“You sort of top off at throwing up about six times a day because your body just can’t take it any more.”

“Everything was judged as ‘that was a good time in my life because Iwas thin’ or ‘that was a bad time in my life because I was fat’.”

At one point Huffman’s weight dropped to seven stone, she only really stared recovering from her illness when she fell in love with ‘Fargo’ actor William H Macy.  from entertainment wise
