I'm 6ft tall and looking back, I know that wasn't healthy or very smart, and I had probably had some sort of eating disorder
The other thing I saw: There was this whole back-and-forth about How tall I am. I'm like, are you serious? It's like, 'He says he's six feet and there's no way. I saw him in a picture with so-and-so and I know he's 5'10" and he was shorter than him. Why does he have to lie about his height? I think he's lying about his weight, too, I think he looks even skinnier than 140 to me. He looks deathly skinny.'
