Well, it’s very easy for me to gain weight, but even though I tried not eating for a week when I was really young, I couldn’t do it any longer because I liked my food too much.

In this remark Seyfried contrasts the pressure to control one’s body with the stubborn reality of appetite and pleasure. The admission that she once tried not eating for a week—followed by the blunt reason she stopped (“I liked my food too much”)—frames extreme restriction as both unsustainable and, implicitly, unhealthy. The quote also gestures toward the double bind many young women face: being told weight is easily “managed” while experiencing a body that gains weight readily. Its tone mixes candor and self-deprecating humor, which can function as a way to speak about disordered-eating behavior without glamorizing it, emphasizing instead the human need for nourishment and enjoyment.
