Actress Nia Vardalos said that she has been frequently asked by people elsewhere how she lost 40 pounds instead of how her movies and other project went through.
She wrote on CNN's AC360 Blog, "It's just weight. Just 40 pounds of fat now gone from my body, but wow, it's pretty much all I get asked about. In the last year, I got to star in a movie, wrote and directed my next one, and adopted a three year old from American Foster Care. But guess what I'm asked�how did I lose the weight?"
The star of My Life in Ruins stated that there is indeed a "double standard for women. Whatever, yawn, we all know it, perpetuate it. So, it's our fault. Let's accept it and move on. Socially, the issue of men's weight is simply not a big deal. Let's face it: Russell Crowe is fat and no one ever talks about it. Alec Baldwin just orders his suits a size bigger and we continue to swoon."
