"I wasn't healthy. I couldn't breathe when I was walking up the stairs. I was so unhappy.

'And I've had some messages like, "Well, now you've lost the weight you're not funny any more." What the f"k? Why do women have to be f**king fat to be funny? That makes me so angry. I champion anybody. I think everybody should be happy with their body. But I wasn't.'
