Though a celebrity may look to be with everything they could ever want, no one knows what a person is going through. This is true for everyone; but they are still problems, and Debby Ryan suffered for the longest time with body dysmorphia.

Body dysmorphia means “a mental health disorder in which you can't stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in your appearance — a flaw that appears minor or can't be seen by others.” The actress knew she had the condition since she was 13 years when she was sent to a psychiatrist.

Then there was the unfortunate condition of someone close to Debby, said person had cancer.

Seeing someone struggle with cancer gave the actress a lot of anxiety, which resulted in an eating disorder. 

Debby said, “I’d gone through heartbreak, and my close friend was going through cancer, and I emotionally ate and was dealing with a full-blown eating disorder. I put on 12 pounds, which isn’t much on the Hollywood scale, but everyone online was calling me fat and speculating that I was on drugs. It enraged me so much.”

The actress put on 12 pounds, and she was getting comments on Instagram where people were asking if she was doing drugs. People gossiping behind her back in Hollywood and pretending to like her in front of her face, she knew the truth, but it was a hard time for her. The actress never revealed she was suffering from an eating disorder, and people were making stories of the actress losing it.

When people started to body shame Debby Ryan, the actress said she was “enraged.” But then she got a diet, and the 12 pounds dissapeared like they were never really there. Ryan was getting ready for the role of Patty in the show Insatiable, a character who is also going through bullying for her weight loss, and change was needed in both of their lives.

A green diet, calorie control, and sating sugar craving the way for the actress on her path to weight loss, and then there were frequent exercises, and she was back to her old self. But even after proving the naysayers wrong, the actress was not in the mood to gloat and look down on others.

Debby was fine with the life she was living. And as long as it was a happy life Ryan did not care about a thing others said.

Compared to her character on the show Insatiable, the actress likes to distance herself from the revenge aspect of the character. She said:

 “The Patty in me – who will forever live inside me, and I will forever live inside her – sees my face on billboards right now, looking down at the people who said and did horrible things to me, and there's not even a tiny part of me that can say, 'Ha! Now I'm on a billboard looking down on you!”

But Ryan is not letting her inner Patty out into the world,

 “All I can think about is marking and celebrating the days of going without being unhealthy and falling back into bad habits. The redemption for me is that this whole struggle can now live outside of me on the show, and is no longer hidden.”
