even tho im not a fan of over skinny bodies…lets face it…some females just look better skinny…its hard for some females to carry weight and be attractive…she looks alot better…in my opinion she could even lose 5 more pounds…LOL or just tone a little bit more…and people who are saying she looked better 20 pounds heavier…are probably just over weight themselves…im 117 pounds…and I would love to get down to 110..i feel overweight 90% of the time..but im just not willing to cut my diet down…LOL because i already only eat 1600 calories a day…with the occasional splurge once a week..its probably also because she is only 5’3 …its alot harder for a short person to look thin…i would know im only 5 feet..it just depends on how you carry your weight..when she gained weight it all went to her hips and ass…so it made her look huge…plus the camera does add alot!…its not just something stars make up to make themselves feel better…lol

I have a weight loss blog and just blogged about Jennifer Love Hewitt’s weight loss.

At first I annoyed and my initial reaction was that she was a sellout to the slime ball media (TMZ, Perez Hilton)…but then I started looking at why I might feel that way, is it because I myself am less than perfect?

Anyway, check out the post (and others!) if you are so inclined.

I remember years ago she went through a VERY skinny phase, at the time i thought she looked aged and haggered. hopefully she will know where to stop and just maintain the weight loss.

i’m a little disappointed… after trying to pretend as though she’s totally secure in how she looks, she goes and loses weight… sort of hypocritical… and i don’t buy that these weight losses are for “health reasons” because a woman with an extra 10 or 15 pounds doesn’t exactly suffer from dire health problems.

“I fail to see hypocrisy, disrespect, or dishonesty in that. Seriously. What I see is a woman who’s figured out how to work the system when she needs to and how to stop obsessing over it when she doesn’t.”

Here’s the hypocrisy – she said one thing (“I’m chubby and proud!”), then did another (slimmed down to conform).

God this girl is so annoying. I’ve hated her acting since Party of Five.

I don’t really watch the movies she’s in, but I love Jennifer Love Hewitt. I think she’s a class act, and actually has a personality.

I’ve also always found her to be pretty. She gains weight, as does the rest of us, and I see nothing wrong with her attitude.

I totally get what she means. It’s very difficult ignoring the nasty things the media has to say and congratulations on the weight loss. I think it’s wonderful that she’s trying to be a positive role model for young women by showing them that weight gain is normal, and that no- just because you’re not a size two means you’re fat.

I think it’s a huge problem for girls being told that if they’re not perfectly thin that they’re mammoths. Jennifer Love Hewitt was never fat, but she got a little bit overweight, and by saying that she wasn’t fat, that she meant that overweight and fat aren’t always synonymous.

I think it would have been better if she’d been honest about her weight gain when those bikini-pics surfaced.

“Yeah, I’ve gained a few and I would like to be slimmer but I don’t need the hassle right now and only by Hollywood’s twisted standards would anyone consider me fat!”

Better than pretending to embrace her mild chubbiness and striving to be a role model for confident normal women – only to stab them in the back by going back to her willowy self as soon as she can.

Awesome post, Aspen. I definitely concur, with all of what you pointed out, and kudos to Hewitt for working off her little extra poundage rather than starving it off with speed and coffe and grapefruit. The work and discipline required for any of us to exercise diligently every day for weight loss is very admirable, nothing to shake a stick at or downgrade – that’s hard work. And that’s what it takes, WORK, in order to stay relevant in Hollywood when you’re an actress, espECIally when you’re a woman, not a man.

This woman works in Hollywood. When she is not working, she doesn’t watch her weight. When she is contemplating upcoming work or a public event, she slims down swiftly. If she didn’t do that, her career would end very quickly.

I fail to see hypocrisy, disrespect, or dishonesty in that. Seriously. What I see is a woman who’s figured out how to work the system when she needs to and how to stop obsessing over it when she doesn’t.

She appeared to be a size 8 or 10 to me in the “fat” photos, but I never took her comment as a claim that she was a size 2. I took that comment, the very first time I read it, to mean, “They called me fat when I was a size 2, so I don’t care if they think I’m fat now.” And…she most certainly HAS spent a lot of time in size 2′s.

This woman is one of the good ones. Give her a freaking break. She has never been anorexic-looking or unrealistically thin, and she has, on the other side of the same token, never allowed herself to get to an unfit heavy weight, either. She got big enough to have some butt cottage, but she never got unhealthy. That, Ladies and Gentlemen, is a healthy example. With all due respect, you don’t have to be a size 16 to “represent real women.” Lots of women are somewhere in between…and for Ms. Hewitt to keep her career, she cannot indulge in her “comfy” jeans all year-round.

So much for representing “real women” and embracing your body…

Is there a limit to the hypocrisy of her previous statements, now that we know she did a lot to loose weight so fast?

BTW, she might be a size 2.
She is short and I know short women who wear really tiny sizes, even if they are chubby?

There are NO role models today for young girls and that scares me for the generation to come.
