Camila Cabello gets candid about her intense struggles with stress eating

Camila Cabello sat down for an interview with Glamour magazine and revealed that she wants to binge-eat when she feels anxious.

The Grammy award-winning singer said, “I have this pattern of eating a lot when I’m anxious or uncomfortable. It’s a comfort thing for me. I’ll just kind of become unconscious and zombie-eat a lot, and then I’ll feel sick."

She continued, "When I’m having negative thoughts about my body, that’s actually when I’ll want to binge-eat cookies, and then I have a stomachache."

The Havana singer added, "It’s this weird psychology: The more I love my body, the more I actually want to take care of it…. As long as I’m healthy and working out and feel good, that’s the best I can do. There’s no point in trying to have another kind of body."

She then told that her beau Shawn Mendes knows about her eating patterns, "I’ve told Shawn about that. So at the VMAs party, I was like, 'I’m doing it.' And he was like, 'It’s okay. You’re doing it.”

Cabello added further, “That’s okay. Let’s just take a breath and not do that.' It’s really good for me to be able to talk about my patterns with someone.”
