Chrissy Metz: Exercising and Diet control
Playing the role of Kate Pearson on the show This Is Us worked out very well for actress Chrissy Metz, as she had finally landed a leading role on TV and her character would have to lose weight as the show progressed, so it would motivate her lose weight in real life. And drop the pounds she did… with exercise and diet.
Chrissy, who has been on the larger side for many years, attributes her weight gain to equating food with happiness and celebrations, as she grew up poor. She went on the Weight Watchers diet as early as 11 and suffered from low self-esteem. Even as people notice her losing weight, they ask her if she had a lap band surgery, and Metz politely says no!
