I found this from a People Magazine in August.
Scarlett Pomers, who played "Naomi Wildman" on Star Trek: Voyager and then spent her teen years on Reba, has recently been profiled about her struggle with anorexia and how she conquered it. Two years ago the actress, at age 16, checked into rehab for the eating disorder weighing only 73 pounds, undergoing two months of intense inpatient care. She then began regular outpatient therapy which continues to this day. Now 18, she has learned to satisfy her body's cravings and not to weigh herself every day, according to an article in this week's People magazine.
But Pomer's main secret is her practice of Kundalini yoga, which emphasizes meditation and chanting. "Yoga always made me feel really good about myself," she said. "It was the final step of letting go of the demon." Recently Pomers launched a nonprofit foundation called Arch-Angels, to benefit the educational efforts of the National Eating Disorders Association.
