Octavia Spencer admitted that she is unhappy with her current weight and feels "less valuable" because of it.
"I am not happy at this weight. Any time you have too much around the middle, then there is a problem," The Help actress said. "And when you reach a certain weight, you are less valuable."
Spencer said she also feels for the women in Hollywood who feel pressured to stay thin.
"I feel for the overly thin women as much as I do for the overweight women. It has to change," she said. "We have to start standing up for ourselves, 'This is who I am.'"
The actress added that perhaps everyone would be happier if they just ate more. "And if more women ate, they would be a lot happier. Let me tell you, I am a lot grumpier when I don't eat."
