Snooki Says Drunk-Eating 'Fried Pickles and Cheese Fries' Derailed Her Goal to 'Get Healthier'

The ‘Jersey Shore’ star said she lost 5 lbs., only to “ruin it drunk," telling fans she's just trying to improve her health

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi says that her plan to get healthier was derailed by some late-night ordering of her favorite snacks.

The Jersey Shore star, 36, shared a TikTok of herself brushing her hair — and then looking forlornly at the camera, with the superimposed text, “POV working your ass off all week to lose 5 lbs only to ruin it drunk last night ordering fried pickles and cheese fries.”

She clarified her fitness journey after a commenter wrote, “You’re way too blessed to be spending your whole life worrying about your weight!!! You look great. Eat those fried pickles!!!”

“Not worrying! Just trying to get healthier 😩,” the mom of three wrote. She shares son Lorenzo, 11, daughter Giovanna, 9, and son Angelo, 5, with husband Jionni LaValle.

Captioning the video “The struggle is real,” the diminutive star commiserated with another commenter who said, “The reality of being short 😭 I get it girl.” 

“THE WORST thing about being short,” Snooki replied.

The reality star has shared how her height has impacted her body image, saying, “my body fluctuates so much because I'm so short. So like gaining 5 lbs. looks 25 lbs. on me because I'm only 4'9". So it's hard to maintain, especially after three kids."

In a recent TikTok, the reality star talked about how online comments can also impact someone’s self-esteem, as she urged people to “stop commenting on people’s bodies.”

“I have struggled with my weight my entire life,” she said in the video, which has 6.5 million views and stays pinned to the top of her TikTok page.

“High school? Not great. Wasn’t eating, underweight, had no energy. It was getting scary. So high school was not a good place for me with weight. I wanted to be size zero and so skinny. And I fit in the jeans but, oh my God, I was so sad and not eating and [had] no energy.”

But now, Snooki says, “ As long as I'm happy and I'm enjoying life, I don't really care.”

And in the next TikTok she posted, Snooki shared highlights from a day at the Jersey Shore with her family — which she ended with a full glass of red wine.
