Raven-Symone Debuts Dramatic Weight Loss

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 6th 2011 04:00PM

Raven-Symone flaunted her slimmer figure at Wednesday's People's Choice Awards. Wearing a cleavage-baring outfit, the actress admits she's still insecure.

"Actually, now I wear bigger clothes because I don't like the way people stare at me," she tells PEOPLE.

"I liked it before. Now, you're just looking at me for the wrong reasons. Before, you were actually looking at me for a real reason."

The 'That's So Raven' actress faced much criticism for her weight, but she has never understood why.

"I thought I looked fabulous before and nobody else did," she says. "So, whatever."

The former 'Cosby Show' star adds that the stress she endured during her Disney Channel show was the reason she packed on the pounds.

"That's what stress does to you," Symone says. "I've been not stressing. I've been in my own house, decorating and finding hobbies."

what weight loss? You call that dramatic? You can't even see her body! She's wearing more clothes in the after shot and she looks exactly the same size.

There isn't a huge difference, what is different is someone has done her makeup and hair. 1 st picture I can see why people would just look at her.. Little less black makeup and softer look.. did the job. Even though she has on black clothes and saucey look.. its softer.
Ya have to realize you can't dress/ look like a 16 yr old .. at her age.
Soft and feminine.. does it every time. Spread the war paint.. and people will "look"

I'm glad that Raven has made herself healthier! People were always staring at her because of her huge boobs! She Always had them hanging out, even as a kid. Now I'd say the people are just admiring her as a beautiful woman! You can't really see her at all in the picture in this article. I wish her the best of luck in continuing her career as a Woman.

It's amazing what a little cocaine will do for the figure.

By ljsurf322

If you think that ALL women have that kind of body type and cocaine is the only way to change that, you need to get out more.

Really. Only another druggy would know.

Or a Jenny Crank diet.

What a creep you are ~ do you know she did drugs? She is a good role model for young girls and her show and movies were good. Shes not trash doesn't take off her clothes or do drugs or have affairs so you have to tell your kids she trash like the other teen stars that grew up. Get a life your jealous!

By onezeta

Oh you must have it confused. You must be referring to those trashy trailer mentality tramps Paris Hilton, Miley Cirus and the crack-head queen Lindsey Lohan. So let's not get it twisted.

I can't tell that she has lost any weight, but if she has good for her...........she needed to!

"I liked it before. Now, you're just looking at me for the wrong reasons. Before, you were actually looking at me for a real reason."

So, "hey, look at fatso" is a "real reason," but "hey, look how much weight she lost" isn't a real reason? What an incredibly gross, unhealthy message to send.

By JT1962

Actually, they're not looking at her because of the weight she lost but because of the figure they now see.

By Sarge

the fat she lost is right behind her
