Drew Barrymore is known for being quite candid and she has been very open about the struggles she has faced in her life.

The actress took to Instagram to share her weight loss journey, saying that it is not always easy to prioritize taking care of yourself when social media presents unrealistic standards of beauty.

"When I look at Instagram, I am made to think I should be at my best self. But most days, I lack consistency due to real life," she wrote, before giving a shoutout to a professional (@marniealton) who helped her lose 25 pounds.

"Here is me in a before pose and then 25 pounds later in the same place. You can tell my face is so much thinner!"

Another couple of photos provide snapshots into a tale of two workouts: One of Barrymore at the beginning of her health and fitness journey, the other of her after shedding the weight.

Behold!

"This takes me so much work," Barrymore wrote.

"Diet and exercise and fighting like a lion for it! Damn you genetics! And yet thank you for all the good stuff."

"I love where I come from (JOHN ETHEL LIONEL) and whatever package it comes in," she continued, giving a nod to her famous relatives of the Barrymore acting family.

"I just know that I have the control to be what I want. Even if it's hard AF!"

She concluded:

"At least I know there are experts I can turn to for help. I mean look at what Marnie helped me do in three months! When I have time off in 2019…I'm comin for ya! PS may I just say I want these ladies on the front page. You are my spirit animals and my goal posts!"

People were moved by the star's honesty.




Earlier this year, Barrymore, who currently produces and stars in Netflix's Santa Clarita Diet, spoke about being stopped by a woman who assumed she was pregnant.

Barrymore recalled:

"She's like, 'God, you have so many kids,' and I go 'Well not all of them are mine, I just have two.' And she's like, 'Well, and you're expecting, obviously.' And I just looked at her and go 'No, I'm just fat right now'." And I walked out of the restaurant and I was like, 'Oh man, that is rough'."

Thankfully, Barrymore appears to have enough confidence and good humor to soldier on.

We currently live in a society that is growing increasingly familiar with technology, not to mention the ever-increasing fear that technology and artificial intelligence (AI) will render the human race unnecessary, particularly in the workforce.

Religious organizations were arguably one of the few places where one could safely assume no one need worry about any sort of technological invasion.

As prominent MAGA minions, like QAnon conspiracy peddler and former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have come out against MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, so too are some lesser known individuals.

Whether it's his Iran War, his continuing saga with the Epstein files, his utter failure to keep any of his campaign promises that they banked on helping them, or the abject incompetence of his hand-picked personnel, some members of MAGA are distancing themselves from the cult.

Trump Ripped For Somehow Making His 'Happy Mother's Day' Post All About Himself Without Any Mention Of Melania

President Donald Trump was criticized after he "honored" mothers on Mother's Day by attacking Democrats in a self-absorbed post on Truth Social, never mentioning his wife, First Lady Melania, who is the mother of his youngest son Barron.

Instead of acknowledging her and mothers around the country, Trump gloated about the economy and accused critics of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome," targeting Democrats and Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair he's been trying to push out of his administration.

Zach Galifianakis Expertly Lays Into Comedians Who Refuse To 'Challenge' Trump When He's A Guest On Their Podcasts

Actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis called out comedians who have had President Donald Trump on their podcasts and didn't "challenge" him, noting that they've effectively abdicated their role by not making jokes at Trump's expense or pushing back against things he says.

Galifianakis made that argument during a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where host Conan O'Brien remarked that few, if any, people have challenged a sitting president the way Galifianakis did when he interviewed then-President Barack Obama in 2014 on his satirical series Between Two Ferns.
