She talks about being anywhere from a size 8 to a 12. Schumer also mocked the once-thick Khloé Kardashian for succumbing to media pressure and losing the weight of “a Kendall [Jenner]”.

Speaking with interviewer Maria Shriver, Schumer described the pressure she’s often felt in her line of work to always present herself in a certain way to please audiences.
But after meeting her stylist Leesa Evans on “Trainwreck”, the actress gained new confidence by simply changing how she dressed.
Now if you don’t have cable, Cut Cable Today provides us with two ways for viewers to catch Schumer do her thing this Saturday at 10.pm ET.
“She described her body image, saying, “[It’s] been a struggle for me my whole life, and especially just being in the entertainment industry. “She didn’t have to do this”, Amy continued, “but she just did”, even though really being a stylist is Leesa’s job and, you know, how she gets paid/makes a living, so she kind of did have to.
But Schumer turns serious, her voice catching a little, when she relays how happy she was that Evans helped her sister pull together a chic outfit. “She shopped for my sister also and seeing my little sister wearing a little blazer, and a shirt and looking just like a strong, lovely woman, I realized that holding myself back was also holding her back”, Amy said, tearing up.
The stand-up comedian, 34, partnered this week with Goodwill of Southern California Thursday to co-host a workshop for women about empowerment through style, where she revealed her own insecurities.
Speaking through tears, the native New Yorker added, “I just wanted to give it to every woman”.
“As I wake up in the morning, I look like Charlize Theron – in “Monster”, she says”.
She’s such an inspiration to young girls everywhere, so we’re very excited to check out her HBO special Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo Saturday October. 17 at 10/9c to see what other gems she has for us!
No one here is naturally thin, “everyone’s starving”, she assures us.
