Sara Evans Talks Eating Disorder
Previously, Evans opened up about having anxiety and an eating disorder. She said, "I have an eating disorder. I'm more scared of being fat than anything in the world, and that's not good. That's not normal." Evans detailed events that left her particularly stressed. For instance, the record label wanted her to lose baby weight."My record label, every time I had a baby, they would be like, 'When's she gonna lose weight?' " Evans recalled. "So things like that would just get in my head."
Evans also said she struggles with anxiety. It's something that she's dealt with for years before finally getting medication to treat it. She said, "I had severe PTSD and anxiety, but it was the '80s, and I didn't have a name for it. I don't think my mother even thought, like, 'Maybe I should take her to therapy.' I thought I could handle it because I'm tough."
