Salt Talks About Her Bulimia

Salt and Pepa are in this month's Essence magazine, you know, promoting "The Salt and Pepa Show" on VH1, and Salt opens up about her bout with Bulimia. She says, "It was a lot of things including my home life, getting in the business and trying to keep up with looking good, being skinny and the pressures of life. I never thought I was pretty because I went through a chubby stage as a teenager—and kids are mean—so I had to fight girls all the time. Bulimia is an addiction like any other addiction I know a lot of people don’t understand it, but it’s the thing that caught me by the throat. Growing up in that environment affects you as a kid with all the arguing in the house. But I stopped and did the work. I did the digging, figuring out and healing, so now I’m good. I still have my issues, but I know how to get on my knees and lay it at the altar and keep it movin' as opposed to getting depressed, overeating and throwing up. I learned how to cope through my spirituality."
