Chrissy Metz’s Weight Loss on Ellen: Her Struggles With Obesity Was There Since She Was a Child!
Chrissy Metz suffered from the consequences of being overweight since she was a kid. Always being open about her lifelong fight with weight loss, Metz revealed her struggles in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter in 2017. Part of the difficulty, according to Metz, is that she associates eating with happy memories. For example, she enjoyed eating her grandmother’s grilled cheese sandwiches, which she described as a “wonderful bonding time.”
Also revealing how she became a victim of her father’s ruthlessness due to her weight, Chrissy Metz revealed, “My body seemed to offend him, but he couldn’t help but stare, especially when I was eating. He joked about putting a lock on the refrigerator,” in her memoir This Is Me. The actress had been carrying the baggage for quite a while and was in need to lose some of her weight.
When Metz was cast as Kate on This Is Us, Metz was a struggling actor surviving on dollar store ramen noodles. She was ecstatic when she got the part, to say the least. However, it has been revealed that the contract required Chrissy to lose weight.
In an interview with TV Line in 2016, the actress revealed, “In our contract, it did state that that would be a part of it, to lose the weight in the trajectory of the character as she comes to find herself.” Calling it a win-win situation, obligatory weight loss may have appeared to be a burden, but the actress saw it as a benefit.
What Led Chrissy Metz to Lose Her Pounds Down?
Chrissy Metz‘s weight has fluctuated throughout her life, but a panic attack in 2010 prompted some significant alterations. Metz told People in 2017 that she had an epiphany only hours before her 30th birthday celebration, which her ex-husband had planned for her. She skipped the party and went straight to the hospital.
Doctors diagnosed it as a panic attack, but they didn’t discount the importance of her weight in her general health. The words of the doctor “You can’t continue on this path,” hit Chrissy and made her understand the need to lose weight. Since then the star went on the road to lose her pounds and spare herself the trouble of having another panic attack or any other lingering diseases that came with obesity.
Here’s How Chrissy Metz Lost 100 Pounds!
Metz didn’t lose weight by going on a crash or fad diet. Her secret to success, as unglamorous as it may sound, was balance and exercise. As she revealed, it was simply just eating a 2,000-calorie diet and walking 20 minutes a day.
Diet and exercise were the actress’s first steps toward weight loss. Her baby foot toward creating healthy routines was walking. Every day, Chrissy Metz made a conscious effort to walk for at least 20 minutes. She cut her consumption of unhealthy foods in half or stopped eating them altogether. After regaining control of her diet, Chrissy began regulating her calorie consumption to below more than 2000 calories per day.
Along with taking control of her body and physical wellness, Chrissy too made efforts to better her mental health. In an interview with People, Metz revealed that she relied on reading and spiritual work to keep herself motivated. She exclaimed, I realized that … at the core of who we are, we’re these perfect beings. And we’re not taught that.”
Currently, in her best shape, Chrissy hasn’t revealed what her current weight is but it’s sure that she is keeping a good check on it. Seen as a figure of body positivity by her fans, Chrissy’s motivation in being the best version of herself has inspired many. As she says, “Whether or not I lose weight or stay the same, it’s purely a choice of mine for health. Not because I think that plus size, curvy, voluptuous, big bodies aren’t attractive—because I think they’re awesome and sexy.”
