10 celebs who became dangerously overweight (With Pictures)

9. Melissa McCarthy

Growing up, Melissa fluctuated between a size 6 and 8 but has said that she always wished to be a size 2 or 4 and didn’t appreciate the great shape she was in. After giving birth to her children, her weight hit an all-time high and she has been overweight since. She has said that people’s malicious comments can sometimes knock the wind out of her and that she could probably eat less and drink less. But ultimately, she thinks life is short and that it isn’t meant to be spent dieting. McCarthy says that if people can’t accept her for who she is, they should find another actress to hire or admire. In 2014, she lost 45 pounds in an effort to improve her health as she found she was frequently out of breath and having back pain.
