Delta Burke Puts Weight In Perspective

Delta Burke reveals her journey from skinny to being a fat actress, to eventually coming to understand self-acceptance:

The details of how she traveled there and back are her own, but the general story is that of more than a few seriously overweight people and their relationships with food.

Burke was not a gluttonous gourmand. She rarely ate out and even more rarely cooked. But she said she felt intense pressure to be thinner than she was probably destined to be. Food became an enemy, then an obsession, then a drug. Only when she worried about it less did it relax its grip on her, she said.

Delta gives us a reality check on Hollywood glamour:

"Hollywood goes so extreme," she said. "I see people in person who look like they're from the death camp and then I realize which actresses they are and they look pretty and thin on screen. But they look scary in person."

An excellent read.
