It seems that Jennifer Love Hewitt feels disappointed that she didn't show her body when she was young. The beauty, who just lost 18 pounds in just about 10 weeks, revealed to Health magazine for its September issue that she regretted not showing her body in the past. "I wish I had been nude from the time I was 12 until I was 28. I looked great!"
Love also gave advice to teenager about how to love their body. She said, "I want to tell all young girls to walk around in bikinis all summer and enjoy it. I want to tell them to never, ever feel bad about anything, because there will be that one day in your 20s when you'll eat a hamburger and actually see the hamburger on the side of your leg. Initially it's shocking, and you think, Whoa, I have to actually think about what I eat and work out double the amount I did before. Then you go, Well, now my body gets to make children, which is so cool. And I suddenly don't look like a little girl anymore. I look like a woman. How exciting is that? You start to find value in other things."
During the interview with Health magazine, Love even shared about her family, especially her mother and grandmother who encouraged her to appreciate what she had. "I so wish I had listened to my mom and grandma when I was 18 and would complain about some little tiny bump or feeling bloated. They'd say, 'Sweetheart, appreciate it for all it's worth because it all changes when you get into your 30s.' I used to scoff and say, 'No, I feel fat today!' Now the joke's on me," she said.
Love's can be read on Health magazine.
