Oscar Award winning actress/comedian, Mo’Nique, built her comedic career off of ‘hating skinny women’ – in a loving way of course. She told many jokes about loving her nearly 300 pound voluptuous frame at that time.
Fast forward to years later and she’s been on a very dedicated health and weight loss journey. We’ve all witnessed her become the real life ‘Incredibly shrinking Susan” right before our eyes in recent years. By May 2018, she announced that she was below 200 (at 198) for the first time in her adult life. As of Saturday (September 15, 2018), Mo’Nique has caught the attention and praise of many fans with her latest and even slimmer photos.

Even though the above comment was giving off a ton of ‘Negative Nancy’ vibes and lies, there was one truth in it- the part where the commenter referenced Mo’Nique’s ‘man,’ Sydney Hicks, being a major motivating factor.
Mo’Nique began her health journey around 2012, after being diagnosed with high blood pressure. In a prior interview with Arsenio, she revealed why her outlook on being a nearly 300 pound woman has changed and that husband, Sydney, was her initial wake-up call:
“When my husband asked me my weight, I answered and he said ‘…That’s too much weight. I want you around for a lifetime and that’s not healthy. … It was at that moment that I went through guilt, I went through shame, because of my size. Because I never felt love like that before.
For a long time I was a child in my way of thinking. I thought that I could eat what I wanted, do what I wanted, and was reckless in the sense of abusing my body. That’s when I was younger. …
I think that the journey I have to take now is that I have babies. I have a son who is 23, but I also have a son who is nine. And we have twins who are seven. I want to meet their children. I want to be able to play with their children. I don’t want to be a burden on my family due to self-neglect….I was fortunate to watch my grandmother play with my children. I want to be in the same position.”
By the way, Mo’Nique follows a vigorous, yet fun weight loss regimen and has done so without weight loss surgery, despite what her haters think:
“No surgery, no prepackaged foods, not listening to spokespeople saying ‘It’s easy. You can do it,’” Mo’Nique said in an online video. “You can eat and still drop this weight. It’s called raw food. It’s called dancing your pounds off. It’s called giving yourself a chance to live the best life you can live.”
Mo’ique was a beautiful woman at almost 300 pounds, just as she is today at her smallest size in her adult life. Her health is most important though, so we applaud her efforts and the health journey she shares with her fans.
