Maria Menounos Lost 40 Pounds
Maria Menounos, the journalist and correspondent for The Today Show and Access Hollywood has been popping up in the tabloids quite a bit in the past couple of weeks. Last week we reported she’s a big fan of Krav Maga, and now we learn from Ok! Magazine that before her claim to fame she struggled with weight gain. Years ago, back when she was working at Dunkin’ Donuts and going to Emerson College she was 40 pounds bigger but didn’t see it as a problem:
“I honestly didn’t feel bad when I had gained the weight because my weight gain was in the best places you would want it – here (chest) and here (buttocks). I still had a flat stomach. Yeah, I was disappointed at different times when I tried clothes on and they didn’t fit, but I was in college. I didn’t really care too much. Everybody else around me had a bigger problem.”
She continues,
“When I lost the weight, I was happy and proud of myself because I knew it was a big accomplishment to lose that much weight. And I knew I wanted to be in this business and it wasn’t healthy. My dad is diabetic, and I knew it was something I was prone to. It was a real big decision on my part to take it down a notch and make sure I stayed as healthy as I could.”
Now, Maria looks picture-perfect when we see her on the television or on the red carpet. She keeps herself fit and has learned to live a more healthy lifestyle:
“I think we all obsess so much, and you’re going to deprive yourself? For what? You’re supposed to enjoy yourself. The week after, just take it easy. Eat some fresh salads and fresh fruit. Replenish yourself with good, healthy alternatives for a week afterward and you’ll be fine. Take a long walk after dinner. Do something like that. I never stress about it.”
