Jennifer Hudson is a great spokesperson on losing weight healthfully. And she projects a strong sense of a healthy body image to her fans. After losing more than 80 pounds on Weight Watchers (where she is also a spokesperson) Jen says she is done and is happy where she’s at.
According to US Weekly, the “Spotlight” singer says she is satisfied with her slim-down. “I’m at the weight I want to be, But I hear all the time, ‘Don’t lose any more weight, you need to stop.’ People are under the impression that I’m still losing but I’m not.”
Hudson has a son with fiance, Harvard Law graduate and WWE wrestler David Otunga. She says she doesn’t always see herself at her new size. She sometimes feels like she’s still a size 16. “I’m getting used to my new self more than anything else,” the Academy Award winner says. “I got used to being plus-sized and knowing how to be that, whereas this is like, ‘Okay, who am I?’ I keep thinking that I probably need an extra-large or a large and the stylist is like, ‘No, you need a medium or a small.'”
When she was heavier, it was difficult for her to find clothes that flattered her body. Remembering that struggle, the new fashion designer has created a line of clothes for QVC. “I know what I like, and that’s what it’s all about. It’s like, who’s your fashion icon? Me. And no one but you knows what you feel most comfortable in.”
Jennifer has empathy for her customers and she always puts herself in their place when she works with the clothes. “I look at each piece and think, ‘Could I wear that as big Jennifer or could I wear that now? I want to consider every girl.”
Hudson’s healthy view on her weight is an inspiration to her fans. She is truly a role model for young girls in that she has a healthy body, not an anorexic one…and that she knows when to say when.
