Melissa previously told Rolling Stone: "I thought I battled weight throughout high school, but I look back at pictures of me as a cheerleader, doing sprints, lifting weights, doing gymnastics, playing tennis and while I wasn’t reed-thin like some girls…I was a size six the entire time. So what on Earth was I freaking out about?"

Melissa confessed that after moving to Los Angeles and beginning to work in the industry is when she noticed she had put on some extra weight. She said that at the time she had gained 25 pounds after moving admitted that it was due to the fact that she had stopped walking and often ate unhealthy food.

In a dramatic attempt to shed some pounds, Melissa went on a medically supervised all-liquid regimen plan for around four months while she was staring on the hit series Gilmore Girls in the early 2000's dropping an alarming 70 pounds. Despite the plan being approved by her doctor, Melissa felt that the diet made her feel "starved and crazy half the time."

Since then, Melissa said that her weight has continued to fluctuate and the actress appears to look much thinner these days. But the actress has assured her weight loss has been done in a healthy manner as she has sworn off crazy diets. In an interview with CBS This Morning Melissa shared her secret to losing weight. She told the news outlet: “I finally said [to myself], ‘Oh for God sakes, stop worrying about it, and it may be the best thing I’ve ever done.”
