Gabourey Sidibe talks about the personal struggles

The actress who grabbed all the eyeballs towards her in the film “Precious” Gabourey Sidibe went through surgery for weight loss.

Gabourey Sidibe has come up with a new book named “This Is Just My Face: Try Not to Stare”. In this book, she talks about her Hollywood career, personal struggles during weight surgery, battle with diabetes, and confidence in her body.

While talking about her new body and the experience with Nylon Magazine, she says:

“You don’t get to talk about my body if you like it or not; it’s my body. I have been struggling with weight my entire life. I realise that as long as I have a body it will be a struggle.”

She also talks about her first job as a sex talker, her rise to fame, and her dilemma as a college student in the book.

“I always wanted to throw up because I was so sad. I really liked challenging myself not to eat for three days. Sometimes I would eat a slice of bread and drink a bottle of water just to throw it up,”

A 33-year-old actress who has risen to fame with her talents is still dealing with some issues in her life. She admits that she still continuously worries about the money. She also says that although she has translated herself throughout the pages, she doesn’t mean that she is perfect.

“A lot of people will write a book and pretend whatever they are writing about they are done with, and now they are perfect. I’m not perfect. I am just as f**ked up. I am who I am, and all of this s**t in my life will be a struggle forever… but I’m fine. Well, I’m becoming fine,” she smiled.

Her book will be released on May 1. Stay tuned to know the struggle Gabourey Sidibe has faced throughout her life.
