"After being out there and so public about my own struggle, I would always have people come up to me and say, 'My daughter ...' My sister ... 'My friend ...' They go off into a corner and talk to me quietly about it," she says over a soda at a hotel here.

PASADENA, Calif. — People who remember the sunny little girl, Carol Seavers, on "Growing Pains" would be surprised to see Tracey Gold today. an energetic, 42-year-old wife and mother of four boys, she not only overcame the burdens of being a child actress, she also vanquished an eating disorder that almost killed her.
Gold is trying to help other women who find themselves in the grip of anorexia or bulimia, the way she was when "Growing Pains" ended after seven years.
TELEVISION
"I began to feel like there needed to be a light shone on it for there to be more exposure. It was always such a hushed, quiet thing that people were embarrassed about. I just wanted to show eating disorders the way they truly are and take the idea of throwing the word 'anorexic' around so lightly, and also take on the idea that it's somehow a glamorous thing."
New show tackles eating disorders
"I watch TV and understand what people are watching and I thought through my involvement it could be something that was really good. So I approached GRB, the production company which does the show 'Intervention' who I had a relationship with before, and thought they'd be perfect to produce the show."
She received so much positive reinforcement that she kept at it. "I'd gone on such an extreme diet that once I hit my goal weight it was OK. Now I can move on. I didn't really know how to eat healthy. I knew how to be the girl who ate what I wanted or be the girl who was completely restricted. I didn't know a happy balance. So it started to cycle."
Gold's ordeal began with an innocent diet. "I'd always been a skinny, thin child and when I was around 18, 19 I started to gain little bit of weight. I was told by the producers that I needed to lose weight," she says.
The show was her idea.
It wasn't until she met her boyfriend-turned-husband that Gold's eating habits slowly began to normalize. Now, she is a happy mother of four boys. Although she said she is more secure with her body, she still aims to help other women.

'Daughter'a dud for Fox fall lineup
A pivotal moment in sitcom history occurred Sept. 24, 1984, near the end of the pilot for "The Cosby Show." Theo Huxtable is trying to worm his way out of a bad report card by pleading for his father to accept him as a run-of-the-mill teenager.
In that one scene, Bill Cosby reinvented the rules. No longer would cute kids run circles around their clueless parents. The grownups were now and forever in control.
"So rather than feeling disappointed because I'm not like you, maybe you should accept who I am and love me anyway, because I'm your son," he whines.
Except on "I Hate My Teenage Daughter."
This insipid new sitcom, debuting Wednesday, ignores Prof. Cosby by offering two mothers, Annie and Nikki, who are raising the most spoiled kids on Earth not named Kardashian.
The studio audience, trained out of habit, breaks into applause.
Cliff Huxtable stands up, waits a beat, and delivers the zinger: "Theo. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life! I brought you into this world, and I'll take you out!"
In the opening episode, the brats hurl obscenities at their moms, question their weight and make fun of their clothing while tramping around in tight clothes that suggest they just served as hookers on Sunset Boulevard or as extras in a Brittney Spears video.
And how do the women respond to this abuse? By insisting the little devils go to their first school dance in a limousine.
You see, Annie and Nikki don't really hate their daughters. They hate themselves.
Tony winner Katie Finneran,
who plays Nikki, reacts like a wounded puppy to every barb.
In one moment of self-loathing,
she dives into a fruit pie with
More embarrassing than the dance is the notion that these women are so susceptible to the antics of their airhead daughters.
Pressly, a former model who won an Emmy for her impersonation of trailer trash in "My Name Is Earl," is a talented comedian, but you don't buy for one second that she was ever a big-butted, bumbling nerd in her youth. In an effort to get "revenge" on her daughter, Pressly's character dances in front of the girl's peers, who react as if Frankenstein's monster just teetered through the door. Yeah, right. If a hottie like Pressly boogied at my prom, I might actually have enjoyed myself.
This has been a banner season for strong, independent women, whether it's Kat Dennings' sassy waitress on "2 Broke Girls" or Zooey Deschanel's dare-to-be-different turn on "New Girl." It's also been the season of sniveling, insecture, sad-sack men who act like little boys. Too bad the women of "Teenage Daughter" turned its back on the gals and, instead, joined the pity party.

her hands.
Jaime Pressly, who portrays Annie, shows signs of pluckiness, especially in next week's episode, when she insists the two families bond over pizza and games. But she always ends up dissolving into butter at the sight of her ex-husband's brother (an unlikely, inexplicable crush) and at any suggestion that her daughter isn't her best friend.
