As a result, she only ate half of what meal that was given to her and skipped desserts. An excerpt of the book reads, "Without exercising, I lost thirty pounds in about two months. I remember waking up in the morning and looking down at my fingers and seeing they had shrunk overnight."

The "Never Have I Ever" creator continued, "Suddenly I was freezing all the time, like those skinny girls in movie theaters are always complaining about, and needed to sleep with an extra wool blanket. My face thinned out, and my belly went away. … I thought [my bully] Duante would finally leave me alone, but he didn’t."

However, the Dartmouth College alum changed her perspective on weight loss and dieting when she welcomed her children, Katherine and Spencer. She noted that in the past before an award show, she performed a juice fast or stopped eating certain types of meals.

However, she now opts for moderation, "I’m never going to stop being a foodie. I’m never going to be someone who can just have spinach and salmon every day. I just am really for the first time in my life, trying moderation, and I love it."
