During her Gilmore Girls years, Melissa followed a doctor-supervised liquid diet that helped her lose 70 pounds in just four months.

However, the experience left her feeling disheartened, and she later confessed it was something she would never repeat.
In a 2015 interview with CBS This Morning, Melissa explained that her attitude toward her weight had changed dramatically when she stopped putting so much pressure on herself.
It comes as Melissa faced backlash for playing a Disney character based on a drag queen.

"I truly stopped worrying about it," she shared before adding that she no longer constantly analyzed everything she did.
The actress also revealed during a 2018 interview with The Breakfast Club that taking a slower, less restrictive approach had helped her manage her weight over several years.
Rather than following strict diets, Melissa revealed that she had learned to give herself a break and focus on a more realistic lifestyle.
