Gabourey Sidibe

Losing weight is not comfortable for anyone, and when Gabourey Sidibe shared her photos on social media, many were surprised. The Empire actress displayed her slim curves while wearing a top and leggings. She reportedly weighed 300 pounds but was, to her credit, able to lose 150 pounds after getting laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Sibide opted for surgery after she was unsuccessful in trying to lose weight on her own. Her weight loss journey helped her fight depression and anxiety. The award-winning actress’s story inspires women of all sizes.

Sibide began her impressive career in the movie Precious. Her performance was highly acclaimed, and she was nominated for countless noteworthy awards. She was nominated for BAFTA Award, Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award. With her success, it is unlikely that she needed to apply for a personal loan to get the surgery. Today, she promotes dieting and adopting a healthy lifestyle.
