If you've been keeping your eye on Gabourey Sidibe over the last few months, you may have noticed that the Academy Award-nominated actress has been slimming down.

Because of the obsession with her size since she stepped on the scene with her role in <em>Precious </em>(despite her constantly sunny demeanor, that hasn't stopped haters from consistently fat-shaming Sidibe), the <em>Empire </em>star didn't talk about any plans to lose weight. She's been very vocal about loving herself and learning to be content with whatever her body is doing.
"It's something I had to work on," <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/videos/2009/11/21/gabby-sidibe-talks-about-weight-on-oprah.html" target="_blank">Sidibe told Oprah Winfrey</a> while visiting her talk show in 2009. "My first diet started when I was six years old. And so, I've never been a small girl. One day, I had to sit down with myself and decide that I loved myself no matter what my body looked like and no matter what other people thought of my body. I had to love myself...I just got tired of feeling bad all the time. I got tired of hating myself. And so, I really, really had to have a conversation with myself and find what I love about myself."
And while she's kept any weight loss plans and goals to herself, Sidibe has showed off healthy snacks she's taken to work to munch on between takes:

Whatever she's been doing has been working well because Sidibe has lost quite a bit of weight. Just this past weekend, she snapped a picture of her slimmer figure in the mirror and celebrated the fact that she's more comfortable than ever taking pictures of herself: "I'm just too Black and fine!"

She's always been confident, but Sidibe is showing off a new side of that confidence these days with her increased selfies. Check out a few images of her weight loss transformation from the star's Instagram account and get inspired!
