Speaking to Oprah Winfrey in 2009, she said: "My first diet started when I was six-years-old. I’ve never been a small girl.
"One day I had to sit down with myself and decide that I loved myself no matter what my body looked like and what other people thought about my body… I got tired of feeling bad all the time. I got tired of hating myself."
She didn't remark on her astounding weight loss, but she did speak about the tough time she had in school.
Gabourey said: "Junior high school is a battlefield. It sucked for me."
