There are people that regardless of what it is, if it's something that's stressful, whatever it may be, they don't eat, they lose a lot of weight, a divorce, they get real thin. I'm the opposite.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I find when I'm overly concerned about what I eat, I stress out my body and put on weight.
In this business, there is an insane amount of pressure, spoken and unspoken, to be thin. If you look at some of the television shows, eating disorders become like a competitive thing.
I used to be that crazy person that was strict about what I did and didn't eat. I was so diligent with exercise. And as soon as I stopped thinking about it, I lost weight. I wasn't stressing about it. The balance and relaxing is what's really helped me.
There definitely was a time when I was pretty obsessed with my weight, but I'm better off not stressing about my body all the time.
I think that people's weight fluctuates. It happens. It happens to everybody.
You know, after all these years, it's just like we are who we are and it's a struggle for me and sometimes I'm heavier and sometimes I'm thinner.
I sympathize far more with heavier people than I ever will with thin. I'll never be thin. Let's be honest.
Some people are naturally thin, and some are heavier. There is a lot of focus on it, and it can be a lot of pressure for people. But honestly, I think as long as someone is healthy, that is most important.
When women are stressed, they either eat too much and get fat, or they eat not so much and get thin, and the latter is what happens to me.
A lot of people who are overweight - not everyone, but a lot of people - are dealing with issues such as emotional issues, stress issues. They become stress eaters and emotional eaters.
