Actress Zosia Mamet has gone public with her eating disorder troubles, confessing she "nearly died" during her youth after keeping her weight struggles under wraps for years.
The Girls star, daughter of playwright David Mamet, opens up about her food hell in the September issue of America's Glamour magazine, in which she has a monthly advice column.
"Do you have a secret? Is your secret something that could kill you, a silent gnawing feeling that's slowly melting you away, little by little, something deadly that nobody else can see? Mine is. And it is this: I've struggled with an eating disorder since I was a child.
"This struggle has been mostly a private one, a war nobody knew was raging inside me. I tried to fight it alone for a long time. And I nearly died," Mamet writes.
Mamet said her battle began when she was just a child after taking a nasty comment to heart.
