Sarah Michelle Gellar: `I have body dysmorphic disorder`

The 34-year-old Ringer star confided that like most women, she has a distorted view of what her body actually looks like.

The mother-of-one told Health magazine, 'Oh God … I'm a female! I totally have body dysmorphic disorder. I think most women do.

'A makeup artist friend once said, 'I don't think I've ever seen you look in a mirror'. I'm surrounded by them all the time—you sit in hair and makeup—so I guess I just have this mechanism where I tune it out. So every once in a while, I'll look and I'll be like, 'Wait, that's what I look like?’

But she revealed that motherhood has helped her focus less on her weight.

'I just have to remember that I'm human, and I'm a mum. Being a parent changes the vanity at least a little bit,' she said. 'It has to. Your priorities are different.

'I'm not as critical as I used to be about my body. And it's also funny, too, how women perceive women, and how men perceive women. Because a woman will look at the skinniest person and think that's the most attractive, and a man will not think that's attractive at all.'
