Amy Schumer

Trainwreck star Amy Schumer has had insecurities about her body her whole life. When she entered Hollywood, her body image just got worse. The producers of Trainwreck told her that she had to lose a lot of weight so that the movie would come out great and she readily complied. She admitted in an interview that she really went on an extreme diet just to get rid of all the pounds but that she was never going to do that to herself again. She may seem bigger than most women in Hollywood but she said she’s actually smaller than the average American woman, so she can’t be considered “fat” technically.

However, since Hollywood needs actresses to be under 140 pounds to not “hurt people’s eyes,” Schumer lost the weight but also emotionally lost a lot in the process. She has managed to get out of it though, and the degree of love she has for herself has tremendously changed for the better.
