After realizing that she can do things such as lifting weights, gymnastics, sprints, playing tennis, while being a cheerleader, Melissa decided to get comfortable with her weight.

After a few years in Los Angeles, Melissa finally landed her big break after being offered a role in Gilmore Girls.

However, the high-profile celebrity claims she will never repeat such a process again after feeling starved and crazy almost throughout the process.

An all-liquid diet can be considered as a form of dieting and Melissa is not fond of the same. In a recent interview, the actress joked she can eat healthier or drink more water, which comes in handy when you want to lose weight, but can also be hit by a bus the following day.
