Tallulah Willis went on to detail her recovery journey with gratitude, sharing that looking through recent \"after\" photos brought her joy, and expressing how something as simple as feeling her hair bounce now feels empowering.

\"I didn't realize how comforting a big bun could feel like, how sexy it feels for your hair bounce a little when you walk,\" she wrote. \"I didn't value myself or my health but I am of the lucky who have made it to the other side. I made my disorder public and now it only feels right to make my recovery as well.\"

\"I want to heal and hug and soothe every busy mind that's out there still hurting,\" she concluded her post. \"Keep going I love u all 🫂.\"

Eating disorders are serious and potentially \"fatal illnesses associated with severe disturbances in eating behaviors and related thoughts and emotions,\" according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) notes that low caloric and fat intake can lead to dry skin, brittle hair, and hair loss. In response to prolonged starvation, the body may also develop fine, downy hair called lanugo to conserve warmth. Additionally, severe and extended dehydration can result in kidney failure.

In the U.S., NEDA estimates that 30 million Americans will experience an eating disorder at some point in their lives.

In addition to Tallulah Willis, Bruce Willis, who was diagnosed with aphasia in 2022 and frontotemporal dementia in 2023, also shares Rumer Willis and Scout Willis with Moore.

He is also father to daughters Mabel Ray and Evelyn Penn, whom he shares with his wife, Emma Heming Willis.

If you or someone you know is battling an eating disorder, contact the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) at 1-800-931-2237 or NationalEatingDisorders.org.
