But the feelings didn’t last for long.
Hough later learned how to pick herself back up and now has tricks to feel better about her body when she’s feeling down.

The actress spoke about body image as she continues to work out in an attempt to change her shape for her upcoming role as fitness pioneer Betty Weider in the film, « Bigger. »
Amber Rose felt ‘body shamed’ by Julianne Hough on ‘DWTS’
« Women in that era had bigger hips and bigger busts. I don’t naturally have that hourglass shape — I’m more elongated and square, to be honest, » she said.
Hough, who has starred on « DWTS » since 2005 and won the competition twice, recently married hockey player Brooks Laich earlier this year.
She was previously dating Ryan Seacrest.
Hough faced criticism that she was body shaming « DWTS » contestant Amber Rose in September 2016 when Rose said her body made Hough feel « uncomfortable. »
« You know, all the beautiful professional dancers that are on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ I mean they dress very sexy and they do splits and they grind up on these guys and they look absolutely stunning and they get a standing ovation, » Rose said. « And for me, and my body, my hips, my a–, my breasts, made her [Hough] uncomfortable. »
