Fat Jamie-Lynn Sigler (DiScala)Skinny Jamie-Lynn Sigler (DiScala)

The Sopranos star Jamie-Lynn Sigler briefly contemplated suicide while recovering from an eating disorder. After shooting the pilot episode for the hugely successful HBO show, Sigler returned to the set weighing 30 less pounds. Shocked producers forced her to seek treatment and she gradually gained the weight back. Producers weren't the only ones who noticed the weight gain:

[Sigler] was slammed by fans of the show who posted nasty messages on the series website. She adds, "People just wrote the most horrible things like, 'How did she get so fat?' What happened to her?' It hurt so bad. "It got to the point where it was so overwhelming that suicide seriously crossed my mind."

Talk about overreacting. Suicide is supposed to cross your mind when your wife dies and then you get fired for skipping work to attend the funeral--not when an anonymous person on an Internet message board calls you fat. You gotta have a middle ground reaction to something like that, maybe some light self-mutilation or cutting. Hell, kick your neighbor's dog. That always makes my demons go away.

What kind of diet requires you also stop tanning and refuse to go to the hair salon?
