Actress and new author of The Body Book, Cameron Diaz, tells Seventeen’s February issue (on stands now) how she finally dumped the junk from her life.
“You might think my life is always totally glam, but I used to have horrible acne – deep, boiling pimples – the kind that hurt so badly, I didn’t want to leave my house. My friends said they didn’t notice, but I’d say, ‘It’s the only thing anyone can see!’ No amount of concealer and foundation could take away the texture of my skin, the embarrassment I felt, or the pain of those raging pimples. I was miserable.”
“At the same time, I was this skinny girl who could eat anything I wanted without gaining an ounce – so I did. If you really are what you eat, I would have been a bean burrito with extra cheese, extra sauce, no onions! Sometimes on a Friday-night drive-through run, I would order a double cheeseburger with French fries and onion rings. I was the poster child for being both skinny and unhealthy – and I had the zits to prove it.”
