American Idol alum Katharine McPhee puts her toned legs on display in a sexy photospread for the March 2012 issue of GQ.
McPhee, who currently stars in the new NBC musical-drama series Smash, is in the best shape of her life after overcoming a five-year struggle with bulimia.
Lost 30 Pounds in 2006
The slender 5'8" Katharine, who lost 30 pounds in 2006, says doing yoga helped her overcome the deadly eating disorder.
Before her stunning weight loss, McPhee had struggled with bulimia for five years (from ages 17-22), binging and purging up to 7 times a day.
“The more I focused on my weight, the worse my bulimia got," Katharine told Shape in 2010.
"Now I’m more easygoing. I stopped fighting myself and became more forgiving of my body. Ironically, the weight came off naturally through exercise but no dieting.”
While McPhee, 27, is currently enjoying her run with Smash, she admits competition in Hollywood is always rough.
"Even the biggest of actresses, unless you get the direct offer, whenever there's a hot project, all the top actresses go in for the part," says Katharine.
"Everyone in this business can relate. You keep plugging ahead if you believe in yourself, and you have people around who believe in you."
