Nicola McLean: 'I have an eating disorder!'
Wednesday 06 April 2011
After losing an astonishing six stone, Nicola McLean has finally admitted that she has an eating disorder.
Following the birth of her second child, the WAG looked worryingly thin and after months of speculation, Nicola has admitted that she is suffering from an eating disorder and sometimes goes for a whole day without food.
The glamour model, 29, relies on coffee and Diet Coke to get her through the day, she says.
Weighing just seven and a half stone, she admits that her eating patterns are worrying her footballer husband Tom Williams, and her friends. Talking to OK! magazine, she says:
'I go for long periods without eating. But then I will eat, I'm not afraid of eating, but I don't eat normally.
'I don't make myself sick. I wouldn't eat every day. No way.'
'I'm starving myself and that could be life-threatening. I know I'm not being healthy. My husband is supportive. He says I need to eat more.'
The model has a BMI of just 18 which puts her in the ‘underweight’ category, yet she has no intention of gaining weight.
Even though she admits that if it wasn’t for her breasts, she would have 'the figure of a 12-year-old boy' she claims 'I'm not ready to conquer this yet. I have a strong mind and until I want to put on weight, I won't. And I don't.'
Nicola weighed 8st 7lbs before she became pregnant with Striker in 2009 and put on a lot of weight while expecting him.
But since his birth in March last year, she admits she has become 'obsessed' with losing weight.
She said: 'I began losing the baby weight healthily, working out and eating well. But it's just gone too far now.'
McLean's friend Kerry Katona - who shares the same management company - is one of those concerned.
She writes in her OK! column: 'Nicola McLean is one of my closest friends, she's beautiful on the inside and out. I've said, "You're too thin, McLean, sort yourself out".
'We're all going on holiday together so I'm telling her: "You're not coming with me on a plane until you put at least 5lbs on." I worry about her, she has a lot going on at the moment.'

Nicola you have children ... you're a mother .... you have responsibilities ... you can't put your needs before the needs of your children .... you need to wise up and get healthy before you fall ill and can no longer look after your children! i know its not easy to conquer demons but the way i read this story was like as if she was doing a little bit of attention seeking! She realises what she's doing is life threatening and i sincerely hope she gets the help she needs before she does herself irreversible damage!
