Packing On Pounds For The Better

March 25th, 2014 - by Alyssa Shea

Usually, gaining weight is considered a failure. Especially in the world of Hollywood. But an article came out that proved some celebs actually looked better with some extra weight!

Take a look through all 26 photos to see side-by-side comparisons of some famous women looking extra fabulous with extra pounds. One of the most surprising is the very first celebrity on the list who dropped 25 pounds for her role in Black Swan. Mila Kunis is a beautiful woman, but when she dropped so much weight, even she spoke out against how she looked on the big screen.

“Flat, flat, flat! There was no shape, no form, nothing, nothing. God, I’m probably 25 pounds heavier in muscle mass and weight at this point.”

Kunis admitted to dropping down to a mere 98 pounds for the role. Even people on the set would remark on how thin she was. The actress said after she gained the weight back that she immediately felt healthier, that this was her “normal body.”

Many people struggle with weight loss. The goal is the find what feels good for you, like a good majority of the stars on this list have done. Gaining weight can actually be a failure that could bring you success!
