Raven Symone Weight Loss Journey: How She Lost 40 Pounds

Over the last few years, Raven Symone has been working to put her health first and fans are taking notice. The former "The View" host returned to the talk show for its special season 25 celebration and during the episode, she opened up about her recent weight loss.

While visiting "The View" co-host Joy Behar noticed her visible weight loss and said, “You lost a lot of weight!” The 36-year-old was at first reluctant to share how much weight she had lost, but then revealed she had slashed 40 lbs.

Raven Symone mentioned,

  

When I ended this show and I started Raven’s Home I was 210 lb. I am now 170 .

   

With her incredible 40 pounds weight loss, the co hosts shared how proud they were and asked how and what drove her to make such a change. Raven Symone responded,

   

What made me want to change was her, gesturing to her wife, Miranda Pearman-Maday, who sat next to her on the set. I want to be here for her as long as I can, and I found out some numbers at the doctor that were not pleasant for someone in my age bracket or any age bracket, to be honest with you.

  

She also mentioned, With my wife's guidance, love and fantastic cooking skills, which everyone here knows, she helped me kick sugar. And I say kick sugar because it is an addictive drug. I was addicted to it in wheat form, in regular form, and it’s out of my system.

Challenges Faced by Raven Symone

 

Despite her self-assurance as an adult, the former child star dealt with a lot of negative treatment during her sitcom days, including body-shaming — both on the set of the Bill Cosby series and her show, That’s So Raven.

   

I remember not being able to have the bagel or anything at [craft services] — we call it crafty — where it’s just a table of food ready for you to eat whenever you want,” the New York native revealed on The View in July 2015. And I remember people were like, ‘You can’t eat that. You’re getting fat.’ I’m like, ‘I’m 7! I’m hungry!

       

Her mental and physical health were both significant factors in her weight gain over the years. “It’s more than what’s just the food — it’s what’s in the food,” Raven explained. “Your cortisol level and your serotonin level have a really strong influence on your body type.”

She starred in the Disney series from 2003 to 2007, and by the end of its run, she was at her “heaviest” weight, which she noted was around 185 pounds. At that time, Raven said people would consistently ask her if she was pregnant. “I’m like, ‘No, I’m fat, get away from me.’ This goes through all of our industry, just fat-shaming in general,” the View alum said. “Not accepting of females’ bodies.”

While Raven-Symoné had previously lost 70 pounds in 2011, she says that the emotional ramifications of the transformation made her weight loss unsustainable. 

"The way people were treating me when I was bigger was emotionally damaging," she had said.

    

Raven Symone Opinion About Weight Loss And Transformation

 

Irrespective of her weight gain, Symone never stopped being comfortable with herself. She reckons, "weight problem cannot snag you unless you allow it does that". Symone is as contented with her present weight as when she was 200 pounds. That’s a super attitude indeed and we all shall endeavour to shadow the same attitude in our lives.

Raven-Symoné is feeling better than ever after losing 30+ pounds in just three months and she opened up about her journey in an exclusive interview with "Good Morning America" Friday.

"I'm not over here trying to be a little twig," the "That's So Raven," alum told "GMA." "I'm not trying to be, like, 'Oh my God, look at me.' I have a goal in mind and it's not just weight loss, it's complete body health."
