AceShowbiz - Jackie Goldschneider got candid about her struggle with anorexia in an interview in November 2018. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star opened up to PEOPLE that she coudn't stop herself from doing hardcore cardio. She revealed that she would do it "no matter what, even if I was sick with the flu. I weighed every single thing that I would eat - down to a piece of gum - because I had to know I had the right amount of calories. I learned really creative ways to satisfy hunger without eating."

She then decided to get treatment after realizing that she would die if she didn't stop. "I'm really proud of coming out of the other side because it was so hard," the TV star said. "It's really not a way to live. It's horrible. It was absolutely horrible. And I'm hoping that I can help people out there like me, who usually just suffer in silence. Because I wish I knew that one day, I'd get through it. That was always a fear of mine that I would never stop doing this."
