Sara Ramirez looked stunning at the 2008 SAG Awards in January. If you’re sick of looking at skinny celebrities, check out this lovely size 12 beauty. Sara Ramirez has struggled with weight issues in the past but is now at peace with her curvy figure. FYI, Sara is a Juilliard graduate and a Tony Award winner.

See what Sara Ramirez says about her weight in this excerpt from New York Magazine:

New York Magazine: Was there pressure in going from stage to TV to change your appearance?
Sara Ramirez: Not at all. I actually gained a lot of weight when I started to do Grey’s Anatomy. Doing eight theater shows a week, girl, is such a workout. But with TV, you’re, like, sitting in your trailer waiting to go to the set. And there’s catering and craft service every place you look.

New York Magazine: Between you and America Ferrera on Ugly Betty, there’s a mini-boom for curvier, “real” Latin women.
Sara Ramirez: Absolutely. I’ve spoken to America several times at events about how funny it is that we’re on TV, and how cool it is to represent a group of women who aren’t stick-thin. I know my boyfriend loves to have something to hold onto. There’s a lot of men out there who do.

Our favorite voluptuous star of  ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, Sara Ramirez, is a welcome departure from the rail-thin actresses we usually see on TV. We love her because she’s such a contrast to the waiflike Meredith (Ellen Pompeo). “There’s a lot of men out there who love have something to hold on to,” Sarah has said, who recently lost 25 pounds with the help of a yoga routine!
