Sara Evans Opens Up About Her Battle with Eating Disorder and Body Dysmorphia
Sara Evans is sharing her struggles with body image.
The country singer recently opened up about how being in the spotlight has increased her self-consciousness about her appearance, especially when she reads comments from others.
“It bothers me, I won’t say that it doesn’t,” Sara told Cheryl Burke on the April 28 episode of her Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans podcast. “I have an eating disorder. I’m more scared of being fat than anything in the world, and that’s not good. That’s not normal.”
The 53-year-old mentioned that due to feeling pressured to maintain her looks, she deals with body dysmorphia.
“My record label, every time I had a baby, they would ask, ‘When’s she gonna lose weight?'” Sara—who has kids Avery, 24, Olivia, 20, and Audrey, 19, with ex-husband Craig Schelske—explained. “So, things like that would get in my head.”
