By PAIGE FEIGENBAUM
February 23, 2011In observance of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, Ford model Crystal Renn shed light on her struggle with anorexia.
Renn teamed up with the National Organization for Women Foundation's Love Your Body campaign. In her candid confessional, she defined anorexia as "mental torture." She embraces a newfound confidence in her recovery. "I relished every moment of it because I knew those pounds meant health for me and I knew they meant happiness for me," Renn reflected.
National Eating Disorders Awareness Week spans from February 20-26, 2011. Women are invited to upload videos to share their own stories of body image issues. Models Kate Dillon and Amy Lemons also participated in the project.
