This Jennifer Hudson quote makes Femmedia profoundly sad. When are we going to encourage women to value their professional accomplishments over how many pounds they’ve lost?
It reads: “I’m prouder of my weight loss than my Oscar!” -A slimmed-down Jennifer Hudson on dropping from a size 16 to a 6, to Self magazine.
What kind of message does this really send to girls and young women? ”You won the most prestigious award you can win for acting, but more importantly, how much do you weigh these days?”
