Though Billie Eilish has worked towards a healthier relationship with her body image, that wasn't always the case. The star, who is 19 years old, admitted to taking diet pills and starving herself when she was younger. "I was, like, starving myself. I remember taking a pill that told me that it would make me lose weight and it only made me pee the bed—when I was 12," Eilish recalled in her Vanity Fair interview.

Of course, her admission came on the heels of the internet losing its mind over some photos of the singer, who ditched her typical baggy clothes for a casual outing. In the photos, Eilish is dressed in a simple tank top and shorts, which normally wouldn't be cause for speculation. Because it was such a drastic difference in attire from what the singer usually wears, however, the pictures went viral on social media.

Eilish expressed gratitude in her VF interview, however, that the pictures were floating around when she was in a more comfortable place with her body instead of "three years ago, when [she] was in the midst of [her] horrible body relationship."
