Chrissy Metz spent six years saying no.
The 45-year-old actress, remembered for her role in ‘This Is Us,’ had rejected GLP-1 medications since the COVID era. She distrusted the method, until perimenopause, a family history of obesity—including her father—and years of diets that never worked made her reconsider. Today she is an ambassador for Ro, the telehealth company that provides her treatment, and she has already lost nearly 45 kilos.
What was hardest for her was not her body, but her mind. ‘It’s so nice not to be obsessed with what I’m going to eat every minute, even while I’m eating,’ she told People. For years, she vilified food because she was taught it was bad.
She knows the ‘judgmental people’ are going to talk. She does not care: ‘They’re not in my life. They’re not in my doctor’s notes. They’re not in my family’s hereditary issues.’ She continues strength training with a coach and, for now, does not have a fixed weight goal—just, as she puts it, an ordinary girl trying to do the best she can.
