Well, like I said, I can't argue this point because I have never weighed her or tracked her diet , but it seems surprising that she would lie about her weight at this time. Doesn't make sense.

You must never have been grossly overweight, then.

No, I guess I'm the lucky one.
When were you grossly overweight?

I don't think she did lie about her weight.

Years ago, doll. I lost all of it and am happy I did, both physically and mentally.

How did you lose it? Adolescence or did you have to work your butt off? (Just curious - no judgment either way.)

Adolescence. One day I just woke up and said to myself that if I didn't lose it then, I'd be that weight for my entire life and die at forty. I was a skinny kid, but when I turned twelve, I ballooned. When I was fifteen, I was huge and that's when I knew I had to lose it. Now, I can eat whatever I like and miraculously not gain weight, but I do the South Beach Diet just to be heart healthy and keep low cholesterol. The good thing is that I lost it when I was still growing, so I have no stretch marks whatsoever.

My brother was a little like that at a younger age. Went from being huge from babyhood to being super-thin by ten. These days he's not as skinny, but still taller and thinner than I.
I never had to watch what I eat until I moved to Houston. So much less walking for necessity, for the first time in my life my metabolism has slowed. Colleagues walk and swim every day, and I might do the walking and running with them this year. I won't do weights and swim.

I don't like to swim because of the chlorine (it fries your hair and your skin). I started pilates a little while back and love it. It took place of running, which I used to do everyday, and works even better!!

I get a chlorine allergy from my mom. Didn't keep me from lifeguarding/teaching swim for years and swimming every day in college, but these days I don't get my head wet in the pool at all. Plus they say swimming makes the muscles too loose for tennis (if I ever take up tennis again) and I know it negatively affects my weight training.
I haven't done pilates, but I can pronounce it.

Ooops, usually I'm trying to run full speed in the other direction.

She probably didn't. Her publicist probably did.
