In late 2005, Pomers checked into an anorexia nervosa treatment facility. Her weight had dropped to 73 pounds (33 kg) and she was exercising as much as six hours per day. She was out of the facility by January 2006. Following her release from treatment, Pomers became an ambassador for the National Eating Disorders Association, and began an organization called Arch-Angels, which raises money for people who suffer from eating disorders but cannot afford treatment. Her efforts led Teen People magazine to name her one of the 20 teens who will change the world.

[About retiring from acting]"I'm a photographer, first of all. I do mostly fashion stuff, but I also shoot bands. I shoot their promo pictures and stuff like that, and a little bit of concerts, too. I don't do concert photography as much as I used to because it's not as fun, not as creative. With fashion and other kinds of shoots, I can be a little more creative and have more say on the concepts whatnot. I also dig jewelry and I have an online store called The Mermaid's Lure. I design the jewelry. It's mostly pieces with different kinds of stones and crystals. It's pretty simple. It's a hobby I like and other people liked what they saw when I was wearing it out, so I started making it and selling it. I still do music, but I do it mostly for myself and not for money, not for a living. There's no money in it anyway. Right now, I'm working on an industrial metal project with my best friend. I also started learning how to play mandolin a couple of years ago, so I'm writing songs for that, too, now, which has been great fun."
