English term or phrase: I just didn’t have a choice in the matter,

How hard was it to get back in shape when it was over?
It’s tough. It’s not easy. It’s not as much fun as actually gaining it. but I had to go straight into another film. I had about 10 days off before I had to go to Montreal to start Head in the Clouds and then we had a three week rehearsal period before we actually started shooting. In a way, I think it was really helpful for me to get over Aileen and let her go. Because I had to discipline myself immediately towards another focus. And the same with losing the weight, I just didn’t have a choice in the matter, so I had to go straight into it and just do it.
试译：
记者：戏拍完后，身体恢复到原来体重有多难？
塞隆：很难，可以说不容易。减肥不如增肥来得好玩，但我马上要拍另一部电影。我有十来天的假可以休息，然后得赶往蒙特利尔，准备拍摄《乱世三人行》，随后是三个星期的排演期，最后真正开拍。在某种意义上，我认为把艾琳忘掉对自己大有帮助。因为我必须立即严格要求自己，迎接另一个角色。正如减肥一样，做演员的，我根本没得选择，所以我只好一往直前、埋头演戏（？？？）。

我根本没得选择

Explanation:
Suggestion:
正如减肥一样，我根本没得选择...

Sorry but I have to ask why did you put "做演员的" in the sentence? And in this sentence, the two "it"s refer to the act of losing weight. "And the same with losing the weight, I just didn’t have a choice in the matter (losing weight), so I had to go straight into it (losing weight) and just do it (losing weight)."
