Lara Fabian had a difficult relationship with food growing up.
It’s on the French show France Interhosted by Léa Salamé, and on the show 8:30 p.m. Sunday with Laurent Delahousse that the Belgian-Canadian singer confided in her fairly severe eating disorders.
“I suffered from a complex eating disorder, it wasn’t just bulimia, it was a little heavier,” explained the woman who ate an apple a week, cut into seven pieces to have a neighborhood every day of the week.
Lara Fabian, who has just released the album entitled I am herewhich she calls “an ode to resilience,” sees her difficulty in feeling loved, even if she was, as the root of her eating disorders. In his song A Flower in the Mouthshe expresses her problem: “I found myself so ugly in my father’s eyes that I left my land.”

“This song is an open letter for those who have not yet had the space to find the words to say to those who did not have the parent’s instructions that allowed the child to see yourself for what you were,” sums up the woman who went through psychoanalysis and musical creation to finally find herself and get rid of what she poetically describes as “the black pearls” of her life.
