As most people know, recent photos of tiny Jennifer Love Hewitt surfaced showing her in a bikini on the beach. Celeb news was teeming with stories on how unflattering these photos were, how big her butt looked, ect. JLH fired back with my latest favorite quote…
“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.”
I love it! Now, don’t get me wrong. She’s still a skinny b!(#* with a killer body. But I just love how she came out and told people to get over it. She works hard for her body, and loves herself. She encourages women everywhere to do the same.
I have a terrible self image. I make my husband turn out the light…ahem…. I won’t wear a bikini, in fact I lived in a two piece with a skirt bottom last summer. On the other hand, I’m a junk food junkie, and I don’t watch my portions. So who’s fault is it? Totally mine, of course.
JLH, thanks. I’m going to start wearing your quote like a badge of honor. (although for me it isn’t a size 2, it is a size 10, but I’m still not fat….right?) I WILL get into a bikini this summer, and even if it scares my children, I’ll do it feeling proud of my body and all that it can do.
Wish me luck!

Its self image that is the problem not our size. A confident woman happy in her own skin is a sexy one! The media’s image obsession is only worth anything if we let it be. So I say sod the media and lets start celebrating ourselves for the wonderful people we are!
