KATIE COURIC: You suffered from bulimia
when you were a teenager, into your, I guess, early 20s.
SOPHIE GREGOIRE TRUDEAU: Mm-hm.
KATIE COURIC: And how do you talk
about that with other girls who may have those tendencies,
or may have suffered, or are suffering,
from eating disorders, whether it's anorexia, bulimia.
Now there are girls that exercise obsessively--
SOPHIE GREGOIRE TRUDEAU: Yes.
KATIE COURIC: Which is a different class
of body image issue.
SOPHIE GREGOIRE TRUDEAU: Absolutely.
The eating disorders are really the tip of the iceberg.
The problem is deeply rooted in a lack of-- of low self-esteem
and of a lack of control.
Because we live in a society that
imposes a lot of things upon us in our culture.
And I try to speak from a place of truth,
a place of experience.
I can only teach by experience.
So I share my story, and I try to be as authentic
and opened about it.
And the more you're authentic and opened
about your own experience, the more people who
are ready to confide.
And the more people are ready to get together
and push this cause forward and bring positive change.
