The actress has been open about her journey. She, in several interviews, has said that she was constantly worried about her weight, so much so that she would be on only a liquid diet. She mentioned that she would never do something like this again to herself.

In a 2023 interview with PEOPLE, Melissa said that over the years, she has learned to be okay with the way she sees herself rather than focusing on people's perception of her. While some reports claimed that Melissa has neither accepted using Ozempic nor denied the same, others claimed that she has actually denied using such a process to lose weight. Melissa reportedly focused on lifestyle changes, including diet, activities and more, which led her to shed 100 pounds. Sharing how she would remain worried constantly, Melissa said:

"I finally said [to myself], 'Oh, for God's sake, stop worrying about it', and it may be the best thing I've ever done.' I truly stopped worrying about [my weight]. I stopped over-analyzing, over-thinking, over-doing anything. I just stopped constantly being worried about it, and I think there's something to kinda loosening up and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, bizarrely, has worked."
