“I’m going to be super real and honest. A couple of years ago, I would say maybe the first eight years I was in Hollywood, I was not eating," she said. "I thought that I was supposed to be really skinny. The pressure is so intense, the camera adds weight they say, and I was eating chicken and salads and working out, doing spinning every day, and I was really gaunt. I know nobody wants to admit this, but I was kind of starving myself."
It took seeing herself on camera for her to wake up and realize what she was doing, she explained: "I was like, that’s not healthy, I felt like I was a bad role model so I started eating. Then my face totally filled out and everyone thought I got a facelift because fat is like nature's filler. So everybody thinks I got work done — I was like no, I started eating guacamole and bagels.”
The very important message here: Finally saying f*ck it to insane body pressures can not only improve your well-being, it can also lead you to a beautiful friendship with guac and carbs and a healthy glow.
