In a heartfelt Instagram post, "Riverdale" star Camila Mendes shared an inspirational quote and her personal struggles to overcome an eating disorder and body image issues Tuesday.

She said positive thinking and support is important when recovering from an eating disorder.

"Our minds can get so contaminated with endless images of perfection, and even if you don't suffer from an eating disorder, it can't hurt to incorporate a little body positivity into your routine," Mendes said in the post. "Take care of yourself in every way that you can."
