Skinny VS Curvy

“Let me please stand in solidarity with all of the women who are not a size 2 six weeks after leaving the hospital. I thought, you read all of the stuff in magazines like, ‘Oh, I breastfed my baby and I am so skinny now.’ I am breast-feeding my baby and I am not getting any skinnier! I think I’m just going to be a little bit bigger for a little bit longer and that’s fine with me.”

… said 37 year-old Jenna, who gave birth 4 months ago.

“In a normal job, if you gain or lose a few pounds, it’s no big deal. But in my business you have to tell someone so that the next time you go to a fitting, the clothes are the right size. It’s really embarrassing to have to say to your manager, “I’m now a 6 pant instead of a 4.” Emails go out, and they cc the agents: “Jenna would like everyone to know that she’s now a 6 pant.” This is why actresses obsess about their weight. It’s not a private affair.“

… says Jenna in Redbook Magazine.

From the series “Celebrities I did not expect to see in a bikini on the cover of a magazine”, here’s Jenna Fischer and her bikini body in Shape Magazine. Last month it was Jennifer Love Hewitt on the cover, she looked fabulous and so does Jenna (… and so do all the other celebs that have ever stepped on the cover of Shape Magazine).

Here are some interesting parts from the article for you all:

Get over it…
Just over two years ago, Jenna fell down a flight of stairs at a restaurant in New York City and broke her back in four places. “And to add insult to injury, I ended up throwing my own drink in my face. My hair was caked with a putrid pineapple smell. It was awful,” she says. To make matters worse, she couldn’t work out and used feeling bad as an excuse to indulge in cheeseburgers and doughnuts. “Before the accident, I wore size 26 jeans! I was truly in the best shape of my life,” says Jenna. “Afterward, I gained 10 pounds and got flabby.” Once she recovered, she started hiking with friends and cutting back on her high-fat favorites. “I lost the first few pounds, which was a great motivator, she says, but I had to do more.”

Make yourself the “butt” of your own jokes
“If I could tell women one thing, it would be that everyone worries about their bodies and what they look like in their clothes,” says Jenna. “I’ve heard gorgeous actresses say, ‘My ears are too pointy’ or ‘My feet are horrible.’ But rather than complain about it, we should be laughing at our imperfections to make ourselves feel better. I’ll squeeze the jiggle on my thigh for you just to show you I’m not perfect!” Of course, that doesn’t mean Jenna wasn’t thrilled when she got back down to her pre-accident size 26. “I went shopping with my girlfriends recently, and I fit into my old-size jeans. I’m like, ‘Do you like these? I don’t care!’ They could have been acid-washed and I would’ve bought them simply because of the size!”

What do you think about Jenna’s words?
