She says that the disorder “can be really frustrating” but her husband has been extremely supportive. Despite this, Hough said that her “body is very precious to me, I didn’t think of it that way before. If I don’t feel like working out that day, then I don’t do it. If I want to sleep in, then I will.”

She said: “Don’t be by this game of perfection that humans play. They strive for a certain aesthetic, and everything looks so beautiful and people don’t seem like they have any problems. Everyone’s human. Everyone has problems. Everyone feels yucky on the inside sometimes.”
