Although she used the medication for three years to manage a hormonal condition called PMOS, she feels the experience triggered a return of her eating disorder. She explained that while the drug helped her lose weight, it fueled negative thoughts about her body and made her feel pressure to stay thin. McGraw is now encouraging others to seek support if they are struggling with their own body image or eating habits.
