14 DAY TRIAL // Singer and actress Jennifer Hudson is half the woman she used to be a year and a half ago – literally. After becoming a Weight Watchers spokesperson, she lost over 80 pounds and is now officially a size 0, says a new report in the Daily Mail.
Fans know that, months after the birth of her son, Jennifer vowed to get into shape, ditching previous unhealthy eating habits and starting to work out regularly.
In a few months’ time, the results were obvious: her frame was shrinking, having reached a US size 6. She then went down to a 4, but vouched she’d never go all the way to the controversial size 0.
She is there now, the Daily Mail informs, citing reports in the US media.
“On Friday’s edition of U.S. talk show The View, presenter Joy Behar revealed that on a recent shopping trip, she bumped into the actress and overheard a salesperson tell the Dreamgirls star she was a size zero,” the Mail writes.
“Joy recalled she asked Jennifer how it felt to be the much coveted but controversially small size. ‘I feel like they’re talking to someone else,’ she replied,” the British tab adds.
Even if Hudson is now down to a size 0, there’s no reason to assume she’s unhealthy or putting herself at risk to remain so, even though she repeatedly stressed in interviews that “being skinny is a job.”
Since losing all the extra weight, Hudson has been very outspoken about the health advantages of a slimmer figure, because she ate healthier and would work out daily with her personal trainer.
She also said losing the weight made her feel 10 years younger and, of course, boosted her confidence considerably.
Hudson showed off her trim and toned figure at a fundraiser in Chicago, where she sang “Happy Birthday” to President Barack Obama, drawing comparisons to the famous Marilyn Monroe moment of many, many years ago.
