"It's just so crazy because I spent six years of my career being called things like 'bag of milk' on the internet, you know 'baby cow,' 'ageing cow.' I just never felt self-conscious about it." Said the actress.

Anyone who's going to take the time to say something negative about my weight on the internet wasn't someone I was particularly keen to impress anyway." Dunham added.

Dunham also mentioned that it feels awkward when people term her hypocrite just for losing weight and toning her body.

"I had this experience of my body changing and suddenly I had all these people being like, 'you're a hypocrite, I thought you were body positive. I thought you were a person who embraced bodies of all sizes,' said Dunham.

"And I'm like I do, I just also understand that bodies change, we live a long time, things happen. I was frustrated by it because it really was evidence that as a woman in Hollywood, you just can't win." Dunham stated further.
