I was juggling my feelings and it makes me sad that there are girls still going through that 15 years after I went through it.'

'I had no way of knowing if I was going through it worse. Everyone was going through similar stuff,' she told People.

'I was so young and it just seemed to be the norm. However, she says that she didn't realize the severity of her anorexia until she sat down to write about it for the memoir. If my mom had packed a lunch for me, I'd either trash it or find some excuse to give it away.' 'By the time I was a sophomore, I started feeling that what had begun as a game had maybe gone too far,' she wrote. In an excerpt of the book acquired by People, Rivera wrote that her eating disorder began when she was a teenager, while her acting career stalled, and her parents split up and reunited. In addition to revealing that she had an abortion while filming Glee, the actress also opened up about her past struggles with anorexia. Getting my financial disasters out of the way early-before I was married or had a family-so that the only credit score that I wrecked was my own.Įven with a successful career and a family that she loves more than anything else, Naya says, 'There's still a thirteen-year-old girl inside of me making detailed lists of how I can improve, who's never sure of my own self-worth.' Sorry Not Sorry is for that thirteen-year-old in all of us.Naya Rivera's new memoir, Sorry Not Sorry, is full of brave revelations. Laughing at the gossip instead of getting upset by it. Having people not like you is a risk you have to take to be real, and I'll take that over being fake any day. That I don't always get along with everyone. Falling in love with the idea of a person, instead of the actual person. Some things are best left to the experts, and hair dye is one of them. At-home highlights and DIY hair extensions. So many moms and teenage daughters don't get along-we just have to realize it's nothing personal on either side. All those times I scrawled 'I HATE MY MOM' in my journal. After her rise and fall from early childhood stardom, barely eking her way through high school, a brief stint as a Hooters waitress, going through thick and thin with her mom/manager, and resurrecting her acting career as Santana Lopez on Glee, Naya emerged from these experiences with some key life lessons: Whether it's with love and dating, career and ambition, friends, or gossip, Naya inspires us to follow our own destiny and step over-or plod through-all the crap along the way. Navigating through youth and young adulthood isn't easy, and in Sorry Not Sorry, Naya Rivera shows us that we're not alone in the highs, lows, and in-betweens. Funny and deeply personal, Sorry Not Sorry recounts Glee star Naya Rivera's successes and missteps, urging young women to pursue their dreams and to refuse to let past mistakes define them.
