As previously reported, the youngest daughter of Rinna and actor Harry Hamlin opened up on Sunday, April 1, about her struggle with an eating disorder after she shared photos of herself in a bikini this year and last year.
“I feel comfort with finally posting something that I wish I was confident enough to post long ago. I’m getting many comments comparing my body today vs. my body last year. I think that the support from my followers has really pushed me into writing this,” the model began in a lengthy post to her 280K Instagram followers. “Anyways, last year at this time there was no doubt that I was not okay. Not only physically but also mentally. I feel like sometimes people forget that just because your job involves being in front of the camera, doesn’t mean you can’t have bad days. We’re human. All of us. Instead of people ever commenting on my mental stability, people commented on my weight.”
“Usually, when people are struggling with an eating disorder it stems from your mind, and your body is a reflection of it. I could go on and on about that time of my life, but the most important part about it was waking up one morning and deciding to stop sabotaging myself,” Amelia Gray, who has appeared on RHOBH, continued. “The first photo, taken today is not a photo of the perfect girl. That is a photo of me, trying to figure out my body, and owing my curves that I naturally have, and not forcing myself to starve them away. I have a lot of health complications after starving myself for so long so it’s going to be a journey that I go through for a large part of my life. I still have an extremely healthy life style and I workout so hard all week to maintain my Body. Not to say that recently being diagnosed with hashimotos has also been an extreme challenge for me to balance when still getting over this part of my life, but I am getting there. One day at a time. I want to help.”
On Monday, April 2, she took to Instagram again to thank her fans for their support. “I look so happy in this… also thank you all for the insanely amazing support,” she captioned a black-and-white photo of herself. “I won’t let you down.”
