Lena Dunham would really like people to stop talking about her weight loss . But, first, Lena Dunham would like to talk about her weight loss. Appearing as a guest today on Ellen, the actress was greeted with some very kind words from the host. “You look fantastic. You look really good,” Ellen DeGeneres told the 30-year-old TV star, adding of Dunham and some recent chatter that's been surrounding her: “You always look great, but I know that you got a lot of flack for losing weight, which is ridiculous.” It certainly is the case that Dunham has shed quite a few pounds. She's joked in the past that the Donald Trump Diet (i.e. not eating due to never-ending fear, anger and nausea) is responsible for this revamped figure, but she turned serious in her interview with Ellen. “It's just so crazy because I spent six years of my career being called things like 'bag of milk' on the internet – 'bag of milk,' 'baby cow,' 'aging cow.' I just never felt self-conscious about it,” Dunham said on the show. She continued: “I was like, 'Anyone who is going to take the time to say something negative about my weight on the internet isn't someone I was particularly keen to impress anyway.' Then I had this experience of my body changing. “Suddenly I got all these people saying, 'You're a hypocrite. I thought you were body positive. I thought you were a person who embraced body types of all sizes.' “I do. I just understand that bodies change. We live a long time. Things happen.” Slammed for her weight and then bashed for her weight loss, Dunham arrives at one conclusion in the following video: “As a woman in Hollywood, you just can't win.” Do you agree with her?
