Los Angeles, December 22: Actress Jameela Jamil recently shared a 10-year-old picture, recalling her struggles with eating disorder. "This was a sad day 10 years ago. I didn't want to go to the event because I was convinced that I was 'too fat' and that I would be publicly fat shamed the next day. I was so weak, I only managed to stay for 10 mins. Eating disorders/dysmorphia are so wild. I missed my teens/20s," she wrote on social media along with an image.

In the photograph, she is posing in a form-fitting black dress and heels.
