Gabourey Sidibe – Actress – Lost 150 Lbs
Unlike some stars who welcome praise for their slimmer appearance, Precious actress Gabourey Sidibe didn’t enjoy receiving congratulations as she gradually lost 150 pounds following bariatric surgery. She emphasized that weight is a personal matter and shouldn’t be a topic of conversation.
Sidibe made it clear that her transformation was for her own well-being, not to satisfy others. The actress, recently seen in Asking For It and set to star in The Harper House, shared the details of her decision to undergo surgery in her memoir, This Is Just My Face: Try Not to Stare. Her story highlights that personal choices about one’s body are ultimately private and deeply individual, underscoring her belief in doing what’s best for oneself rather than seeking external approval.
