She's lost a fair amount of weight since her Mean Girls/early Big Love days, but she's hardly the poster child I would choose to highlight Hollywood's obsession with unhealthy body image. My bigger problem is with the Daily Mail, because clearly someone in Amanda's camp paid the paper a bunch of money to advertise her "enviably slimmer figure." I kinda agree.

I don't think she would fit the criteria for anorexia (it's pretty obvious when someone is clinically underweight), but she might exhibit disordered eating. Or, she might just realize that she has to maintain a certain body type/body size while filming movies, whether she feels satisfied with her weight or not. It sounds like the latter, honestly. There are plenty of actresses who 'let themselves go' (in the eyes of Hollywood) while they aren't filming, and then scramble to lose weight for roles. Remember Christian Bale's apple + can of tuna diet for the Machinist? Now that was scary.
