Rosie O’Donnell Opens Up About The Downside Of Weight Loss

We typically don’t think of weight loss like this! ‘The View’ co-host Rosie O’Donnell opened up about her weight loss; she lost 50 pounds after undergoing gastric bypass surgery. This was necessary after she suffered a heart attack in 2012. Rosie admitted there’s a downside to weight loss. RELATED: Rosie O’Donnell returns to ‘The View’ “in peace,” and then threw shade at Sherri Shepherd- LOL.

Rosie explained:

The fact that I look so different has been difficult and unexpected. Everyone assumes that obese people would just be jumping for joy that they were healthier and thinner and able to fit into store-bought sizes, we don’t have to go to the plus store. But it’s also filled with a lot of emotional turbulence you wouldn’t expect.
“I have a group that I go to, where women talk about how they feel. A lot of marriages break up once one person gets healthy. Luckily, my wife is very healthy, always been healthy, loves me and encourages me to be healthy.”

It can be a challenge: when one person gets healthy, it can upset the status quo in other relationships (friendships as well as marriages). I’m glad Rosie’s wife is able to be supportive! We tend to think losing weight is like the key to someone’s problems in life; it’s refreshing to hear someone talk about how that isn’t necessarily the case!
