Katie Couric opened up about her past battle with bulimia during the Monday episode of Katie, People reports.

Ratings: Katie bows big

"I wrestled with bulimia all through college and for two years after that," Couric said. "I know this rigidity, this feeling that if you eat one thing that's wrong, you're full of self-loathing and then you punish yourself."

Couric, 55, continued: "Whether it's one cookie or a stick of gum that isn't sugarless ... sometimes [I would] beat myself up for that."
