Lucy Hale is the cover girl for the September issue of Cosmopolitan, and her interview shocked lots of fans.

So far, the magazine has only released a snippet of her interview, but here's what Lucy had to say about body image:

“I've never really talked about this, but I would go days without eating. Or maybe I'd have some fruit and then go to the gym for three hours. I knew I had a problem.”

But luckily, Lucy managed to get through it - “It was a gradual process, but I changed myself.”

Lucy added this on Twitter: “Just to clarify – the stories that are circulating form my Cosmo article happened over 5 years ago. I'm happy & healthy. :))”

It's good to know that Lucy has successfully recovered and is doing well today.
