• Melissa McCarthy has had a substantial year with her hilarious appearance in "Bridesmaids" and her Emmy win for "Mike & Molly." Despite her professional success, though, McCarthy revealed that she is battling one thing: her weight.

  According to People, McCarthy divulged her struggles with weight in an interview with Anderson Cooper on his daytime talk show, "Anderson," that airs Monday.

  "I've been up and down," the actress admitted. "I've been much thinner since my second baby. I'm still working on it. It's a work in progress."

  McCarthy, who has a plus-size fashion line set to launch soon, disclosed her other priorities alongside slimming down.

  "There's so many other things to worry about," McCarthy asserted. "I still worry about it, but I think, my kids are healthy, I've got a great husband, and I go to work every day and do what I want."

  "I'll keep working on [my body]," she added. "I just can't put any time to worrying about it."
