Most importantly, Gabourey Sidibe loved herself before Hollywood and the world fell in love with her!
Gabourey is best known for her breakout role in the movie Precious.
Her character, Claireece Precious Jones an abused, illiterate, pregnant and obese teenager has launched her into Hollywood Stardom! Yet, Gabourey is not your typical petite-sized starlet.
Gabourey is very familiar with the negative reaction to her size from others. In a recent interview, we get a glimpse of her own personal journey into bravery.
"One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I'm not in denial about what I look like. How the world perceives you, doesn't have to be the way you see yourself." Gabourney says. Recently she joined a gym in order to stay healthy.
We can be sure that her belief in herself will continue to grow as well as her Hollywood career!!

Choose to love yourself completely just as Gabourey chose to. Accept and love your flaws. When you look in the mirror, remember that there is no one like you. You are special and unique. Take care of yourself with exercise and nutrition. You don't have to be super-skinny, have a certain complexion or fit an image. Start with loving yourself as you are. Your world will line up according to your belief. You are the star of your world!!
