SIN CITY star BRITTANY MURPHY has lashed out at claims she has suffered from an eating disorder, insisting she has always been the same weight.

The star became self-conscious after speculation over her small frame increased, but she maintains she merely appears slimmer because she has matured.

The 28-year-old says, "I'm the same size I was in CLUELESS; it's just that the weight in your face changes as you grow and get older. I used to feel embarrassed about being too tiny.

"I had a publicist at the time who told me that I should cover my arms up in photos. She felt that if I did that, they would stop picking on me.

"She meant well, but it made me really self-conscious. Then I came to terms with it... This is my body; I'm proud of it, so who cares?

"Now I've stopped trying to eat 12 eggs for breakfast. I'm healthy which is the most important thing."
