Shonda Rhimes is probably the busiest woman in Hollywood. Between juggling her popular TV shows and being a mother, Rhimes realized that there was one thing she was neglecting, and that was her health.
In a recent interview with Extra, during the ShondaLand TGIT party, she explained that she lost 117 pounds by changing her eating habits and regular exercise.
But it wasn’t easy, and she said she hated it the whole time, but Rhimes had some pretty big motivators.
“I just decided I was going to get it together and get healthy. I have some little kids, and I want to be around them,” Rhimes told Extra.
Rhimes has also gotten used to her new healthy lifestyle and says it’s a little bit easier.
“Once I decided it wasn’t going to be fun, I lowered my expectations,” she explained. “It got kind of easier.”
She added, “I actually eat everything I want to eat. I tried to make it much less and smaller portions, but what’s happened is, is that you change what your palate wants. I’m suddenly craving fish and salad. It’s upsetting,” Rhimes stated. “I’m like, ‘Where’s my cake?’’’
There’s nothing wrong with cake, especially if working out is now part of your regimen.
