Lady Gaga Says She Doesn't Have An Eating Disorder Anymore

Lady Gaga has had her fair share of struggles. From her issues with addiction to her issues with food, Gaga has gone through a lot, but now, she has one less thing to worry about -- her eating disorder.

"I am better with food. I don't have an eating disorder anymore," Gaga told Harper's Bazaar's latest issue when asked what she is better at now in comparison to when she first became famous. "I'm also better at not letting people take advantage of me. Five years ago, when I spotted someone with a hidden agenda, I allowed them to stay around me...I speak up now. I realized that it's my own fault that people take advantage. I should be around people who cherish my talents, my health, my time...I'm an artist. I deserve better than to be loyal to people who only believe in me because I make money."

In addition to dealing with her weight obsession in recent years, Gaga has also found herself struggling with bouts of depression. Luckily, as she grew past her eating disorder, she also found happiness within herself and can now rest assured that even if she hits a low point again, she will always get back to the happy place she is currently in.

"I always find it," she said of her happiness. "I learned that my sadness never destroyed what was great about me. You just have to go back to that greatness, find that one little light that's left. I'm lucky I found one little glimmer stored away."

In Sept. 2012, Gaga first revealed that she had struggled with body issues, sharing three photos of herself in her underwear on her website along with the caption, "Bulimia and anorexia since I was 15. But today I join the body revolution. To inspire bravery. And breed some motherf-king compassion."

As for her past drug struggles, Gaga claimed in Nov. 2013 that fashion had freed her from the bounds of addiction.

During an interview on The Graham Norton Show, Gaga explained, "From when I was young I had voices in my head, and for the longest time I was drinking and doing a lot of drugs and it was the clothing and the artistry that saved me."
