Carrie Underwood is on the cover of InStyle magazine’s May 2008 issue. In the interview, she talks about her poor body image and her obsession with food. At first, she admits being an emotional eater - after being cheaten on by some of her previous boyfriends, she began drowning her sorrow in ice cream.

“I’m a ‘let it go, move on’ kind of person. And ice cream is my friend. If anybody sees me eating a sundae and I look unhappy, something bad has happened,” Underwood tells the magazine. “I am drowning my sorrows in fudge and caramel and whipped cream.”

The singer also has a serious body image problem! Even though she’s beautiful (and also very thin), she confessed that sometimes she feels disgusted by her body.

“I think about what I look like probably more than I should. But I think everybody is her own worst critic,” she says. “Some days I step out of the shower, put my lotion on, and I’ll be like ‘Ugh, ew, ew.’ ” [Source]

And here’s the worst part - Carrie has become so obsessed with food that she’s started eating less and less, counting calories for all the food that she’s eating.

It’s 5:30pm and Carrie Underwood hasn’t eaten all day… [T]here’s a platter nearby piled with sandwiches. But Underwood sips a diet soda and nibbles on a Weight Watchers bar instead. “Everything shows up immediately right here,” she says, pointing to her tummy.

She rarely goes out without makeup and keeps a food diary: “I’m OCD like that,” Underwood admits. “I count calories, fat and fiber – which is important in making you feel fuller faster – and protein, especially when I’m working out.”

These all look like signs of an eating disorder to me. I surely hope that she doesn’t have one, but if she does, she should get some help before it’s too late!

    AHHH. I am so glad someone else picked up on this. I read that article and immediately wrote to InStyle (not like they’ll ever publish my letter). She totally has an eating disorder..every interview I read about her she says crazy anorexic things. BAH!

    If you listen to a radio interview she did right after this magazine shoot, you will see how much all of this was taken out of context. I feel really bad for her! She was actually extremely sick on the day of this shoot and didn’t eat anything until 5pm because that was the first time she felt like she could eat something and keep it down, so she kept it light and simple.

    you know. ii have been coping with an eating disorder. ii recieved help for it about 5 years ago when it first started. and for yall to sit here and accuse her of having one is wrong in my opinion. your not a doctor. she may have a low self esteem [[ ii honestlyy dont know why]] but that doesnt mean that she has an eating disorder. like she said in her interview.. everyone is there own worst critic. people just jump to conclusions and throw the anorexia word around like its nothing. and its hurtful. she just cares what she looks like and what she puts in her body.. and theres nothing wrong with that. honestlyy. ii think that yall should just leave her alone about it. and stop calling her anorexic or saying that she has an eating disorder until yall know the facts. and yall may say you care and just want to help her. BUT. really yall saying these things are onlyy hurting her worse. so why dont yall just leave her alone.
