Shonda Rhimes Reveals the Moment That Inspired Her Weight-Loss Journey

Continuing her year of saying yes to intimidating opportunities, Shonda Rhimes visited The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about her new book, The Year of Yes and some of the changes she's made since beginning her personal mission.

After giving a commencement speech at Dartmouth that made her realize that public speaking (which she had been afraid of) could be a good thing, Rhimes set out to do more and learned that "the more fears I conquered, the more I felt like, 'Oh wait, I can do this too,'" she told Ellen.
