Chrissy Metz, Star Of ‘This Is Us’ And Her Amazing Change Since She Began Her Journey

Grew Up Overseas

Even though Chrissy Metz was born in a Miami suburb in Florida, she spent 8 years in Japan.

At six months old, Chrissy, her parents and two older siblings movied to Japan because her father was stationed in the Navy there. Metz recalled, she was “a little spoiled with really great toys.”

Getting Help

During that time when she fell into a depression, she was able to recover thanks to a therapist and the path of spirituality and self-help she went down.

Metz read some books by Deepak Chopra and others. After five months, she shed 100 pounds, telling Marie Claire, “When you do put the food down and those feelings come up, you’re not being numbed anymore. You’re like, ‘I got to deal with this.’ That is hard.”
