Jinger Duggar Vuolo shared that she thought she was “too fat” as a teen — which led her to skipping meals.
“I was so insecure for so many years which led me to some bad places,” Duggar, 31, shared on the Jan. 15 episode of the Unplanned podcast. “Even with the way that I was viewing eating … I struggled with, like, just not eating enough and it was because I thought I was too fat, and I wasn't.”
The former 19 Kids and Counting star shared that, as she entered her teens, she would compare herself to her friends: “I had friends who naturally were super skinny and I would look at these girls and … I would compare myself to them.”

Even though Jinger says “I was actually pretty skinny at that point,” her fears of gaining weight led her to skip meals. “I didn't think properly about myself. I kept thinking, ‘Well, I'm just not pretty enough,’ or ‘I'm not skinny enough,’ so I would just try to wake up later in the day, try to avoid meals.”
