Actor-model Jameela Jamil was hiding a "dark secret" for a long time: about checking her weight every day for 21 years.
"The Good Place" star revealed she felt miserable for over two decades until she stopped inflicting pain on herself last year.
In an essay for Stylist magazine, Jamil wrote,
“I ended up weighing myself every single day of my life until last year. That’s 21 f***ing years of waking up every morning and my entire mood for the day being determined by the number on a stupid little machine in my bathroom. What a horrifying waste of happiness. What a horrifying waste of time. What a sad thing for a bright girl who technically knew better, to keep as her deep, dark secret for so long.”
