Snooki from Jersey Shore Had Anorexia When She Was A Teen
That's right, Snooki, a "character" in the Jersey Shore Reality T.V. show, had once battled with Anorexia Nervosa. She started out only eating a salad one day, then she started to eat just a cracker a day, then she just went to eating a grape per a day. Snooki then just stopped eating all together, and started to become sick. She recalls her High School life as a "Dark Period" of her life, and does not favor to recall.
