Va Voom! Melissa McCarthy Loses 45 Pounds!
Just a mere five months ago, Melissa McCarthy spewed that she was happy with her weight. In an interview with Rolling Stone, McCarthy lays it on the line about her body, and confesses that, after having two kids, there are some things that just don’t matter to her anymore.
“I could eat healthier, I could drink less. I should be learning another language and working out more, but I’m just always saying, ‘Ah, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.'”
Since that interview in June 2014, something must have sparked Melissa into a different way of thinking because this chick is losing weight and looking fabulous.
A friend of the already stunning actress told the Daily Mail, “Melissa realized she wasn’t being as healthy as she could be. She wants to set a good example for her kids and she wants to be around to become a grandmother too.”
McCarthy has had to deal with being the target of some hurtful comments regarding her looks. While she has tried to dismiss such malicious statements, it can sometimes be impossible to be unaffected by them, as reported by Hollywood Life.
“I’ve never felt like I needed to change. I’ve always thought, ‘If you want somebody different, pick somebody else.’ But sure, criticism can sometimes still get to me. Some things are so malicious, they knock the wind out of you.”
McCarthy managed to lash back in February at Rex Reed, an American film critic for the New York Observer when he called McCarthy “tractor-sized” and “a gimmick comedian who has devoted her short career to being obese and obnoxious with equal success,” as reported by the Huffington Post.
While McCarthy says Reed’s statements would have killed her when she was in her 20s, she now is bold enough to speak out, and did just that in her bold retort to Reed.
“I felt really bad for someone who is swimming in so much hate. I just thought, that’s someone who’s in a really bad spot, and I am in such a happy spot. I laugh my head off every day with my husband and my kids who are mooning me and singing me songs.”
Melissa has two daughters with husband, Ben Falcone. They have Georgette, who is 4, and Vivian, who is 7-years-old. McCarthy says that she wants her daughters to know that looks aren’t the most important thing, and it’s what’s on the inside of a person that truly matters, as reported by the Daily Mail.
However, Melissa’s outside is looking pretty amazingly hot these days, with her obvious weight loss of 45 pounds! She down to 220 pounds from 265, and the results are amazing. According to the Daily Mail, Melissa is simply eating a healthy low carb, high protein diet, cutting out pasta and bread.
