"Octavia Spencer has confessed that she wants to shed more weight. The 39-year-old actress attended the Screen Actors Guild award ceremony over the weekend, where she took home the award for &amp;#039;Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role&amp;#039; for The Help. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not trying to be a thin mint. I&amp;#039;m just trying to be healthy and look good for me. So another 15 pounds and I will be fine,&amp;quot; Spencer told reporters of her weight goal, reports US Weekly. She later said: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s our society that has told [women] and continues to tell them that when you reach a certain age, you are no longer valuable. When you reach a certain weight, you are [no longer] valuable.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not healthy at this weight,&amp;quot; Spencer added. &amp;quot;I think anytime you have too much around the middle then there&amp;#039;s a problem.&amp;quot; In addition to Spencer&amp;#039;s award, The Help won two more SAG awards - &amp;#039;Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role&amp;#039;, which went to Viola Davis, and &amp;#039;Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture&amp;#039;.
