Awkward star Ashley Rickards opens up about a very personal struggle in her new book, A Real Guide to Getting It Together Once and For All. The actress, 22, reveals she has suffered from eating disorders since the age of 7, when she first began overeating. Her situation got worse when a neighbor made a comment about her weight when she was 9. "I was chubby, and a neighbor of mine said, 'We don’t need to go to Krispy Kreme, you've got a jelly roll right there!' " Rickards tells People. "This sort of dysmorphic idea of myself is still in my head. »
