Milania Giudice opens up about dropping 40 pounds. She reveals that her sisters poked fun at her weight while her mom was always supportive.
The 17-year-old appeared on her mom Teresa Giudice‘s Namaste B$tches podcast last week, where she opened up about losing weight and getting fit.
“I weighed so much. My heaviest was like 150, and then when I was done [losing weight], I was like 110,” Milania Giudice revealed. “I was so skinny after that. I was literally like a stick. I was so skinny because I just worked out, but I felt good.”
While Milania says her mom never outright encouraged her to lose weight, Milania admits she picked up on the subtle hints her mom would drop about her weight.
“My mom would — she would never say anything to me — but she’d be like, ‘Oh, you’re gonna have another ice cream?’” Milania recalled.
Milania then poked fun at how she would snap back at any comments about what she was eating or her weight.
“‘I don’t care if I’m fat!’ I’d be like, ‘If I’m fat, I’m fat. Whatever. It’s my life,’” the teenager shared.
“I’d be like, ‘Mom, don’t say anything to me,’” she continued. “‘If I’m gonna have another ice cream, I’m gonna have another ice cream!’”
However, Milania says her sisters Gia, 22, Gabriella, 18, and Audriana, 13, never shied away from making direct comments about her weight.
“My sisters would always throw jabs at me. Like, ‘Oh, you’re gonna have another ice cream after dinner?’ They would always throw little jabs at me, but it was fine. It was whatever,” she said.
Despite the comments, Milania explained that she stayed true to herself until one day, “It just clicked, and I did it.”
“They have to wanna do it themselves,” the Real Housewives of New Jersey star and mom of four added. “You can’t force them, and I didn’t want her to have a complex or anything, and I thought she looked adorable. She was just a little thicker.”
Milania called her younger self a “full-on pumpkin.” According to Milania, she began her “glow-up” and started losing weight after feeling “literally felt suffocated in my own body.”
When Milania decided to focus on her health, Teresa hired a nutritionist, who gave the teenager three healthy meals a day. Milania notes that she paired healing eating with two-a-day workouts.
“It happens to everybody. You go through a glow-up in your life,” she explained. “I had my glow-up when I was hitting eighth grade, I’d say.”
Season 14 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey is set to begin filming in August.

What is going with this site no updates old news???
The female body requires a certain amount of fat to transform from childhood into maturity. If the fat isn’t there, there is no menses, no puberty. The focus on weight at that age is problematic. Boys also thicken up before they hit their puberty years. Why do we not focus on that as well, if y’all are so concerned about “fat children”? If she is getting advice from a nutritionist, what is the problem?
Working out twice a day is problematic. Especially when you look like a stick afterward.
Wow Milania repeats that her mother & sister’s said they same thing to her but her mom never pressured her. Teresa is vapid & shallow & everything is about appearance
So sad.
It is not surprising to me that any of those girls have body image issues. The way Teresa pushes the plastic surgery and the botox and the nips and tucks, those girls don’t have a chance to go through life with loving themselves as they are instead of what the world thinks they should be. I blame Teresa her image is wwwaaaay to important to her, more important than her children’s mental well being.
She also has dieted and worked out to achieve a body builder physique for a time. Boob job and maybe face work but no real “nips” to speak of.
Awful.
When you keep eating desserts you gain weight. Glad she was able to stop and lose the pounds. Unlike me…oh I’ll take another slice…LOL!
