Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi says her plan to get healthier was derailed by late-night ordering of her favorite snacks.
The Jersey Shore star, 36, shared a TikTok of herself brushing her hair – then looking lonely into the camera, with the caption: “POV working out all week to lose 5lbs only to be ruined by a drunk last night ordering fried pickles and cheese fries.”
She explained her fitness journey after a commenter wrote: “You are too blessed to spend your whole life worrying about your weight!!! You look great. Eat those fried pickles!!!”
“Don’t worry! Just trying to get healthier 😩,” wrote the mom of three. She shares a son Lorenzo (11), a daughter Giovanna (9) and a son Angelo (5) with her husband Jionni LaValle.
Captioning the “The struggle is real” video, the petite star commiserated with another commenter saying: “Being short is real 😭 I get it girl.”
“The WORST thing about being short,” Snooki replied.

The reality star shared how her height has affected her body image, saying: “My body varies so much because I’m so short. So like gaining 5 lbs. looks like 25 lbs. on me because I’m only 4’9″. So it’s hard to maintain, especially after three kids.”

“I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life,” she said in the video, which has 6.5 million views and remains pinned to the top of her TikTok page.
“High school? Not great. I wasn’t eating, I was underweight, I had no energy. It was getting scary. So high school wasn’t a good place for me with my weight. I wanted to be a zero and so skinny. And I got into jeans, but oh my god i was so sad and i didn’t eat [had] no energy.”
