Jennifer Love Hewitt Claims not to be Fat
Jennifer Love-Hewitt ain’t eatin’ for a party of five. The shapely actress has hit back at reports which claim she has gained an uncomfortable amount of weight, saying that “a size 2 is not fat!”
Last week unflattering photos of the 28-year-old swimming during her Hawaiian getaway with fiancé, Scottish actor Ross McCall hit the internet and resulted in several media outlets labelling the actress “overweight”.
But the Ghost Whisperer star has since hit back, taking to the internet to voice her concern surrounding the press’ obsession with weight.
“Like all women out there should, I love my body,” Hewitt wrote on her blog “I know what I look like, and so do my friends and family.”
“I’ve sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women’s bodies are constantly scrutinized. To set the record straight, I’m not upset for me, but for all of the girls out there that are struggling with their body image.”
She adds, “A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn’t make you beautiful. … To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini – put it on and stay strong.”
Ok, I agree that people shouldn’t be so judgemental because a seemingly “perfect” star gains a little weight. But, at the same time I gotta say that she is crazy if she expects everyone to believe she is a true size 2! Her butt and thighs are huge right now and that’s her choice but she can at least be honest! Even if she can fit inside a flowy dress that happens to be a size two, I am sure she can’t squeeze herself into a slim fitting size two pair of jeans right now. (I am a size two so I should know, and my arse has never been that big.) And it bugs me that she is a hypocrite – she’s telling other voluptuous or chunky girls to be confident in who they are and in their size, but then there she is lying about her own size. Also, she can say she’s just fine with being on the chunky side now but I would be willing to bet money that she will hire a trainer and get on a diet and be back to her skinny self by a year from now!
