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."

I LOVE Raven. So many people want to see her in tabloids and want her to confirm to the way of young hollywood. But she's only 24 years old and worth 6 million of her OWN money. You think she fake but her money aint!!! get it Raven!

She was beautiful before and still is.It's amazing that in 2011 people are still so shallow and superficial..Let's move forward and concern ourselves with real world issues!

CYNTHIA? do shut up

Am i the only one who think she looked fine before? She was a full-figured, beautiful woman, and in no way fat. If you observe her family, they are on the heavy side as well. Although she's all covered up, the new pictures make her seem slightly emaciated and actually a bit unhealthy. I'm probably not used to it and she's still gorgeous regardless.

Have always admired her. Never hear trash about her. Handles herself well in every situation Absolutely beautiful before and after.

I have tried to lose weight dozens of times. "Hypersonic Weight Loss" really works, I even went on a cruise and came back 2 pounds lighter.

By JJ

She needed breast reduction surgery. That's what made her look overweight.......

By Kristen

Hey Raven...I think you are beautiful no matter what, and I hate that people have to judge. Loose weight only to make yourself feel better, don't do it because other's say you should or you'd be more popular, etc. That's just silly.

Just be Raven and love who you are in the body God gave you. You are a role-model to me :) Loved you on That's so Raven!

DID WONDERS FOR LINDSEY LOHAN TOO

She looked just fine and cute in the red dress. She does look thinner in the black clothes so I would yes, she did lose some weight. I hope it is for the better and that she doesn't take the weight loss to the extreme. I like Raven because she is funny like me.

Crack is whack.

By littlecowsaysmoo

Her new 'slimmer" figure? Where is it? Hidden under that coat. That is hardly flaunting it. She looked fine before. Another "star" who has fallen prey to the thinner is better mistake.
