Kelly Clarkson says she seriously thought about committing suicide when she was being forced to lose weight at the start of her career.

“When I was really skinny, I wanted to kill myself,” Clarkson tells Attitude magazine.

“I was miserable, like inside and out, for four years of my life. But no one cared, because aesthetically you make sense.”

Clarkson, who battled bulimia in high school, goes on to describe the years following the release of her 2004 album Breakawayas “a very dark time.”

“I thought the only way out was quitting. I like wrecked my knees and my feet because all I would do is put in headphones and run. I was at the gym all the time”
