Does she struggle with her weight?

This is not a criticism, because I think she is lovely no matter what her weight is! I notice that her weight fluctuates a lot from role to role. I was curious if she is someone who has to work very hard to stay thin, and sometimes lets up on maintaining her weight, or of she is someone who stays rather thin, but gains weight for roles that demand it. I know that She supposedly gain what? 40 pounds for Muriel's Wedding? Which she really wasn't THAT heavy in. But I know that by hollywood's standards, she was fat. I myself do struggle with my weight.

I couldn't finish my post for some reason. Anyway, I do struggle with my weight. I have to work very hard to lose weight, and then maintenance doesn't come easy. Toni is pretty inspiring, whether being thinner comes naturally to her not.

Toni is a naturally slender woman.She gained weight for Muriel's Wedding and In Her Shoes,though.

I agree with Maria. She's always been slim but plumped up for Muriel's Wedding. Here she is when she was younger

She's pretty thin in Krampus, but that's because she lost a lot of weight for Miss You Already.

Actors and actresses often gain/lose weight for specific roles.
