Chelsea Handler used to weigh herself ’15 times a day’ to stay thin

Chelsea Handler revealed that she previously weigh herself ’15 times a day’ to maintain her thin figure. 

When asked if she has ever dealt with body image issues while appearing on The Jamie Kern Lima Show, the comedian, 50, recalled feeling self-conscious in her twenties. 

‘I would weigh myself 15 times a day. If I weighed a certain amount, I wouldn’t go out that night. I would exercise. I would run for two hours on the beach and then come back and weigh myself to see how much water weight I lost,’ she told listeners. 

The bestselling author went on to describe that time in her life as ‘such a waste’ and stated that she regrets spending ‘so many hours’ scrutinizing her body.

‘I hate that every woman in this world deals with that,’ she continued. ‘I hate that our society hasn’t embraced [moving forward]. Even though we’re beginning the conversations, it’s going to take another thousand years for girls to understand everyone is different. You all have different parts. So yes, I am a victim of the very same thing.’ 

Although she admitted to still caring what she looks like her swimsuit, Handler explained she feels ‘much more freer about the fact that’ she has ‘cellulite.’

‘I also take really good care of myself because I want to look my strongest and my healthiest. I want to be powerful. I lift weights because I want to be strong and I want to be able to ski like a bada**, you know?’ the former late-night talk show added.

Handler pointed out that she trains ‘all the time’ to ‘be strong for skiing’ and to look good. 

‘I’m not somebody that you can excise from that argument and say that I don’t feel that way. I do care about the way I look and I wish we had an answer, but I don’t have the answer for that. I don’t know,’ she stated.
