“If you tell me I can’t eat something, I’ll obsess over it and end up overeating!” she reveals. “So whenever I would try to lose weight on one of those restrictive diets, I would just end up gaining the weight right back.”

The Help actress went on to say she’s enjoying her new healthier lifestyle however she doesn’t plan on going too extreme with her editing efforts.

“I know I’m never going to be one of those size 2 actresses — that’s just not me,” she says “But I do want to be the healthiest I can be, and a role model to women of all shapes and sizes.”
