Country Singer Lauren Alaina On The Moment She Realized She Had A Real Problem With Her Eating Disorder

Lauren Alaina just released her brand new album — which you should all have!

The country singer and American Idol alum stopped by Harry to talk about the new record and opened up more about the inspiration behind it, which included battling her eating disorder.

Lauren revealed that her mom was a big influence in her life and helped her defeat her sickness.

“She is one of the biggest reasons I got better,” Lauren shared. “My mom told me when I started that journey of trying to get out of that trap.”

She adds, “My mom made me look in the mirror every day and say three things I loved about myself; and when I started I couldn’t say a single thing, I remember that being the moment. I think that’s when I realized I had a real problem, [when] I couldn’t name anything I liked about myself and now I like all kinds of things about myself.”
