Christina Aguilera
This blonde diva’s vocal prowess is apparently not enough to please the public eye. Though her she has a “gorgeous” body now, 2012 was a tough time for her as she was highly criticized for her curvy figure. Her friends reported that she was under so much stress that she didn’t limit her intake of pizza and junk food. A noticeable transformation happened a year after.

Gabourey Sidibe
Precious star, Sidibe struggled with obesity and constant weight gain most of her life. She battled with poor body image because of her unhealthy eating habits. In addition to this, she was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. After numerous failed attempts to lose weight naturally, she decided to undergo bariatric surgery in 2016. This procedure removed half of her stomach, thus reducing the capacity to hold food and simultaneously decreasing her hunger. The actress lost a total of 115 pounds.
