Opening up about a pretty tough topic, Bruce Willis’ daughter Tallulah talks about her “messy” eating disorder recovery.
In her latest Instagram post, Tallulah shared a series of snapshots of her younger days. “ED recovery babies – sending love to you all,” she wrote. “I’m having an [intense] moment of romanticizing unhealthy times and how it felt to move through the day in that size body. Just wanted to voice it because I know (hope) I’m not alone.”
Speaking about her younger self, Bruce Willis’ daughter wrote, “This little raggymuffin is so special and it’s strange to know that and want to give her abundance and vitality – LIFE! whilst at the EXACT same moment feeling pulled by an old desire, deep down from the pit spot in your belly, to compare to the ‘better’ version of me.”
Tallulah went on to add that it’s ok to be in the “middle of the messy” and not totally have it all sorted yet. Quickly responding to the post was her sister, Rumer, who wrote, “You are magic, your truth is so vital and I’m so lucky to be your sister.”
Her followers also posted uplifting comments. “You are beautiful in every way imaginable,” one follower wrote. “I’m so proud of you every day. Thank you for being a light to everyone around you.”
Another follower added, “Seriously, write a book. You have everything it takes to do it. I can only imagine how many people would find some level of help by reading a memoir.”
Bruce Willis’ Daughter Tallulah Once Spoke About Her Struggles With Body Dysmorphia
During a 2014 interview with StyleLikeU, Bruce Willis’ daughter Tallulah became candid with her struggles with body dysmorphia.
“I’m diagnosed with body dysmorphia with reading those stupid f—king tabloids when I was like 13 and feeling like I was ugly, like always,” Tallulah explained. “I believed the strangers more than the people who loved me because why would the people who love me be honest?”
As a way to combat her body dysmorphia, Tallulah said she started dressing a bit racier. “That made me start to dress showing off my boobs and my butt and those things that I was getting attention for,” she pointed out. “It was like denim short shorts, and push-up bras so they were sticking to my neck.”
However, she ended up struggling with another issue, losing excessive amounts of weight quickly. “I was trapped in this body,” she admitted. “I started starving myself and losing a bunch of weight and I got down to like 95 pounds. When I lost my curves and when my boobs shriveled up into like nothing and I had no shape, it put me in even more of a cage.”
