This Is Us star Chrissy Metz has revealed how she managed to lose an impressive seven stone by following just two simple steps. Both Chrissy and her character in the award winning series have struggled with their weight since childhood.
Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Chrissy said that the character of Kate immediately resonated with her, saying: "Here was this woman who was actually dealing with weight. Not like, 'Oh my God, I gained a pound'. She was a real woman who was really struggling, and all I could think was, 'Oh my God, I'm Kate.'"
Chrissy, whose first job was in a local Florida McDonald's, describes herself as having been a "chubbier kid" and even joined Weight Watchers as an 11-year-old child. She explained: "My friends could eat whatever they wanted to, but I knew that as a kid if I ate certain things I would totally gain weight. I had to be really cognisant of what I ate."
