Jersey Shore’s most lovable ball of poof and bronzer, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi used to have an eating disorder, which she revealed in episode 9 after The Situation took a pot shot at her weight. The Situation later apologized, and Snooki forgave him enough to hook up with him in next week’s episode, the season finale.

First of all, The Situation was off the mark with that remark, because Snooki is at a very healthy weight at 98 lbs. on her 4-foot-9 frame. In high school, when she struggled with anorexia, she would only eat one meal a day. She told The Insider she could get by on just a cracker and a salad and eventually got down to 80 lbs.

Snooki got help after a nurse found her weighing herself and alerted her parents that she was only 80 lbs. Snooks has since recovered, but The Situation’s remark, that she didn’t need dinner rolls because she had a couple herself, kick-started her old eating-disorder thinking. Thankfully, she was able to recover thanks to the support of her Jersey friends and she’s tackling fame without starving herself. Snickers is just workin’ the poof and the bronzer and enjoying her moment in the spotlight. Just don’t go to the darkside, Snooki, don’t get anything injected, plumped, sucked, or tucked. You’re perfect just the way you are.

Maybe Heidi Montag could learn a little something from the Poughkeepsie fireball.
