Does Caroline Garcia Still Have Bulimia Nervosa?

In January 2023, Caroline Garcia opened up about suffering from Bulimia Nervosa, as well as a foot injury. During her interview with the French outlet L’Equipe, Garcia revealed that she took refuge in food when she felt “empty and sad” to “fill a void” when she wasn’t winning or was physically hurting.

However, the tennis player claims that she is now managing her relationship with food well and that she is more accepting of it. Garcia said, "Since I’ve been enjoying everything around tennis a little more and taking more time for myself, it happens less,” she said. “And when it does happen, I accept it more and I feel less guilty. Now, if for two days I feel like having a pizza, I’ll take my pizza and it will stop obsessing me."

“For example, I ate a pizza the day before my match against [Daria] Kasatkina [at the WTA Finals]. I wanted to eat it. I found a gluten-free dough. I was so happy with my pizza! And I lasted two and a half hours on the court the next day," She added.
