It's very dangerous...
Lady Gaga says she overcame bulimia to save her singing voice.
She talked about her problem with the eating disorder at a young women's conference held at Brentwood School in Los Angeles.
She said: "I used to throw up all the time in high school, so I'm not that confident. And maybe it's easier for me to talk about it now because I don't do it anymore. I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night. I used to come home and say, 'Dad, why do you always give us this food? I need to be thin. 'And he'd say, 'Eat your spaghetti.' It made my voice bad. So I had to stop. The acid on your vocal chords – it's very bad but for those of you who don't sing, you maybe don't have that excuse until it's too late. It's very dangerous."
