Justine Bateman says teenage fame made her become a bulimic.

The former "Family Ties" star said she made a lot of rules for herself."I can have one more cookie if I go throw it all up later. Or I can have this now if I skip lunch later," she said in the Nov. 9 edition of TV Guide. "I'm talking mainly about doing stuff like not eating when I'm hungry. Or eating more than I really want to and then trying to get rid of it."

The 30-year-old actress, now starring on NBC's "Men Behaving Badly," said she hit bottom three years ago and sought help in a 12-step program.
