J
ennifer Hudson knows that it takes
a lot of hard work to reach a big
goal; after all, she did rise through
the ranks of “American Idol”, and
even though she wasn’t the winner that
season, she turned her time on the competition into a record deal and eventually
made the move to the big screen in films
like “The Secret Life Of Bees," Sex And
The City," and the movie she won an
Academy-Award for "Dreamgirls."
We appreciate Hudson for taking time out
of her busy schedule to share with us how
she lost 80-pounds. Here, in Hudson's own
words are the diet, motivation, and fitness
tips that helped her take off the weight.
“The key about losing weight: You have to
do it for you,” said Hudson. “It’s not about
even starting the journey, it’s about you.
You have to want to do it. And you can’t
let what everyone has to say overshadow
what you want for you. If you want to
meet your goals, you have to make it
about you. Anything less is a setup for
failure."
INTERVIEWER: Some people respond
negatively to the daily fluctuations of the
scale, whereas others find them motivating
and informational. How important is
weighing yourself every day?
HUDSON: Even though many experts
will tell you not to weigh yourself daily,
it’s now the first thing I do every morning.
I weigh completely naked so there is nothing that can mysteriously add an unexpected pound here or there other than my
food intake. (continue to next page)
