Verbatim: Gabby Sidibe

Read Gabby's answer when Oprah asks her about where her striking confidence comes from and compares her (Gabby) to herself (Oprah) since she has been lamenting about her weight since she was 22 years old.

My first diet was when I was 6 years old and so, you know, I've never been a small girl and one day, I had to like sit down with myself and decide that I'll love myself no matter what my body looked like, no matter what other people thought of my body. I had to love myself.


I just got tired of feeling bad all the time, I got tired of hating myself and so I really had to have that conversation with myself and find what I love about myself.
