Vanessa's years-long battle with food

Vanessa revealed in her memoir Vanessa Bares All that her problems with weight began when she was nine years old, when she was put on a very strict diet.

According to Vanessa, her mother routinely restricted her food intake to prevent her from putting on weight.

"By the time I was 20, my mother Valerie had begun scoring diet pills for me from her hairdresser. While I felt sick, the pounds magically evaporated. I slid into a size 8. I spouted hip bones. Chunks of skeleton were visible beneath my skin.

"I wasn’t slim but that holiest of holy grails – thin, verging on gaunt. I looked like a malnourished bush baby. It was all I'd ever wanted."

Vanessa said it almost felt like a 'punishment ', but she never knew what she had done to deserve it.

In 2010,  had a gastric band fitted, but she suffered complications when the band became embedded in her liver.

She found sustainable success with a 2019 gastric bypass, shedding five stone and maintaining a stable, healthy frame ever since.
