Marie Osmond Weight Loss on Nutrisystem

In 2007, we saw Marie Osmond loose 46 pounds by doing exercise and utilizing the help of NutriSystem.  But what we didn’t see was her years of struggling emotionally because of a negative body image.  She has now written a new book, Might As Well Laugh About It Now, where she explains the struggles she went through.

“Our society makes women feel that they should have a body of a skinny little boy,” she tells People Magazine. “We put on five pounds, and we think we’re fat … It’s stupid.  You have women who feel that they have to get boob jobs to be sexy. It’s wrong. We’re females, we have curves.”

She explained that in the 70s she was considered the ‘fat sister’ and the pressures of the Donnie and Marie Show got her to hate her body even more.  She got down to an unhealthy 93 pounds at one point, but then as soon as the show was over, she slowly started to put on the weight and ultimately gained 45 pounds.  Once her son expressed some concern, she decided to go on NutriSystem.

“I needed to do it for my kids, but mostly I needed to do it out of self-love. [I] looked at dieting as abusive and controlling but my whole attitude changed to, ‘I just want to be healthy.’ She continues, “It took eight years to put [the weight] on, and four months to take it off.  My metabolism shut off.”

But now she is getting her life on track not just physically, but emotionally as well.  She has recovered from her divorce, her son is doing well having finished rehab, and as Marie is about to turn 50 this coming October she embraces it with ease.

“I call it the female F-word.” But, she is quick to add, “I have eight beautiful children. I’m crazy busy, and I feel fantastic. So, that can be, ‘Fifty – the F-word – Feel Fantastic.’ I love it.”
