Thirteen years ago, the crown princess of Sweden was trying to hide her eating disorder from the paparazzi. Suffering from anorexia nervosa, Princess Victoria grew thinner and thinner, even as the Swedish press printed pictures and articles of concern. She enrolled in the Yale University in United States, and sought treatment anonymously for her problems.
"I felt like an accelerating train, going right down during the whole period. I had eating disorders and was aware of it, my anguish was enormous. I really hated how I looked, how I was ... I, Victoria, did not exist. It felt like everything in my life and around me was controlled by others. The one thing I could control was the food I put in me."
This summer Victoria married her personal trainer, Daniel Wrestling, owner of the Balance Training gymnasiums. The press reported that the Princess looked "beautiful and fit "at their wedding in Stockholm's Storkyrkan Cathedral June 19.
