Raven-Symon Warned Against ''Getting Fat'' Since Age 7: Watch

When Raven's Disney show wrapped in 2007, she took a hiatus from Hollywood so she could focus on her health. "I was stressed out," she told People in a 2011 interview. "Normal 15-year-olds had to worry about prom. I grew up worried about memorizing my lines so my show wouldn't get canceled."

During this break from the biz, Raven shed a whopping 70 pounds...all without losing an ounce of her identity. "I could look in the mirror and see me at 200 pounds or 135 pounds. and I'm still the same person," she told the mag. "People say, 'You look so pretty!' But I was pretty before...It messes with your head a little bit."

Speaking with her View co-hosts Tuesday, Raven admitted that "of course" there have been times she felt "depressed" about not fitting into a certain mold. But how did she move past that self-consciousness and learn to embrace her body? Watch the video above to hear what Raven has to say about that and much more.
