Raven-Symoné: 'I was beautiful before I lost weight'

Raven-Symoné has revealed that she finds it odd that people have only begun complimenting her looks following her dramatic weight loss.

The That's So Raven star spoke to Vibe Magazine, admitting that she finds it frustrating when people praise her post-weight loss body.

"I find it funny that people now come up to me and say, 'Wow, you are absolutely gorgeous'," the actress said. "I'm like, 'I was beautiful before I lost weight. Egotistically speaking, I thought I was amazing'."

Symoné revealed the secret to her weight loss on The Wendy Williams Show last month, claiming that all she had to do was stop stressing out.

"I stopped stressing. You have to realise at 15, there was a whole entire show I had on my shoulders. It was a very big cast and crew and if you're sick for a day, people lose money and that's a problem," the 25-year-old said.

Symoné confessed in January that she liked her body better when she was heavier, stating that she finds it disconcerting to be stared at following her weight loss.

The actress said last year that she was flattered by comparisons to Oprah Winfrey, admitting that she does not feel as though she deserves such praise.
