Dark past for Angel

Hollywood actress Jessica Alba has admitted to battling eating disorders, depression and anxiety attacks. The Fantastic Four star (24) says, “Everyone in my family is overweight. I wanted to be healthier, so I started cooking for myself when I was 12.” But when she starred in the TV series Dark Angel in 2002, she stopped eating and started exercising for three hours a day – and as a result, her weight plummeted to less than seven stone. “A lot of girls have eating disorders and I did too. I became obsessed with it,” added Jessica. “I never see myself as a beautiful woman and have never traded on that to get ahead in this business.”
