\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tOzempic has become a hot topic when it comes to weight loss \u2014 with some stars confirming they have used the drug while others denied it. Chelsea Handler admitted during a January 2023 episode of the \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d podcast that she unknowingly took the Type 2 diabetes medication, which is traditionally used to improve [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Thirlwall added, \u201cPeople are used to seeing me in a group environment, five or 10 years ago, when I was stick-thin because I was in my early 20s with an eating disorder.<\/p>\n
Thirlwall rose to fame in British girl group Little Mix alongside Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards<\/strong> and Jesy Nelson<\/strong> after the group was created on The X Factor UK<\/i>. After Nelson, 34, left the band in 2020, the remaining members continued as a trio. They later went on a hiatus<\/a> in 2022.<\/p>\nWhile speaking with The Guardian<\/i>, Thirlwall mused that her old disordered eating thoughts frequently popped up during the band\u2019s heyday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t think it at the time, but when I look back at photos of periods when I was quite unhappy, I think, \u2018Wow, girlie, you were very, very thin,\u2019\u201d the Brit Award winner said. \u201cThe pattern was there. Historically, if I\u2019ve ever felt that something is out of my control, then restricting food has been a means of controlling my life in a very toxic way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thirlwall had previously been candid about how she was able to overcome her battle with anorexia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThank You!<\/h3>\n

\u201cIt got to the point when I knew I needed someone else to tell, harboring a horrible secret like that is obviously really damaging to your mental health and, obviously, my physical health,\u201d she recalled on the BBC Sounds\u2019 \u201cLife Hacks\u201d podcast<\/a> in 2019. \u201cThe minute I started to actually talk to people about it was the minute I started to get better.\u201d<\/p>\nThirlwall sought treatment at a local hospital when she was 18 years old. Her discharge was approved several weeks before her audition for The X Factor.<\/i><\/p>\n
