Watch: Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall on Her Battle With AnorexiaContent warning: This story discusses eating disorders. Jade Thirlwall is fighting an ongoing battle. The Little Mix alum, who has been open about her past struggles with anorexia, recently admitted that avoiding Ozempic has been a difficult feat as she's seen online speculation about her weight. "I have a daily battle with myself not to go on Ozempic," Jade told The Guardian in an interview published Aug. 16. "I don't judge people that do, but because I have a history of eating disorders, I don't know where taking something like that would end for me." And while it has been three years since the British girl group went on hiatus, the 32-year-old expressed that some of her fans seem to expect her body to look the same as it did when Little Mix was formed on The X Factor back in 2011. "Little Mix fans were all about empowerment and celebrating your body however you look," Jade explained. "Now I'm in my 30s and the healthiest I've ever been, but every time I post a picture, there are comments saying, 'She must be pregnant.'"readLittle Mix's Jade Thirlwall Opens Up About Heartbreaking Anorexia Battle"The sad thing is that it's usually women," she continued. "People 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." And at the time, the "Angel of My Dreams" singer did everything she could to make sure that her eating disorder didn't define her onscreen journey. "They'd always try to fish for a sob story, but I didn't want that to be my identity," she recalled. "I was starting afresh. I thought, 'OK, this is a huge opportunity for me, it's a chance to change my life.'" After all, Jade wanted to see a future for herself that extended beyond her eating disorder. "I wanted to do music more than anything," she noted, "and if the only way to achieve that was to be healthy, that's what I had to do. It was the ultimate motivation."(Photo by Joseph Okpako/WireImage)But back in 2016, the singer decided to share her struggles with anorexia, which started when she was just 13 years old, with her fans in the band's book Our World. "My periods stopped and things were getting out of control but I don't think I really cared about what was happening to me," she wrote at the time. "I felt so depressed at the time that I just wanted to waste away and disappear." "Anorexia is a self-destructive thing and you become stubborn, so when people are trying to tell you something you get it into your head that they're against you and you're not going to listen," she continued, adding that it wasn't until she checked into a hospital that she realized anorexia "wasn't a game, it was something really serious."
