Kristin Cavallari just dropped major tea about her wild relationship with food back in the day. The 39-year-old reality star opened up on the Let’s Be Honest podcast about what she now calls a form of an eating disorder.
In her early 20s, Cavallari was laser-focused on the scale. "I was obsessed with food. I was obsessed with it! I was obsessed with my weight," she confessed, adding that the guilt cycle felt "horrible."
Her diet was strict and bland—think plain salads with chicken only. Yet weekends meant drinking and full-on binges, a pattern she now recognizes as disordered eating. "Not trying to minimise it! I guess that is an eating disorder. This is the first time that I’m like, ‘Maybe it was,’" she said.
Today she feels proud of the freedom she has found and wants to support other women facing the same struggles. Meanwhile the star, who turns 40 in January 2027, still plans to exit the spotlight soon and open a beach-town coffee shop.
So… has the past fully been left behind, or does it still simmer?
