Ginnifer Goodwin Joined Weight Watchers At Age 9

Here’s a story your aspiring stage mom does not need to read. 32-year-old Big Love star Ginnifer Goodwin recently told Health Magazine she joined Weight Watchers at the age of nine. “I have been a member of Weight Watchers for 23 years, and I’m back on it right now. It’s the only thing on the planet that doesn’t dehydrate you or just make you miserable. I’ve never had a dramatic weight problem, it’s just that I tend to indulge, and then I need to get back on track so I can button my pants.” Hey, at 9, maybe you were just growing out of them!
Weight Watchers was quick to tell TMZ that times have changed—since 2003, Ginny would have had to wait until she was 10 to join and she would have needed a doctor-prescribed weight goal. While joining a structured program like WW is certainly better for kids then the usual eating disorders self-conscious kids latch on to, it’s still scary to imagine little ones without “dramatic weight problems” bothering to count points. Seriously, you’re gonna have to get them new pants soon anyway!
