Mariska Hargitay Isn't Giving up Wine

Mariska Hargitay, one of my favourite prime time TV actresses, is gracing the cover of Self this month. Take a peek between the pages because the stunning Emmy-winning actress is dishing about her healthy habits and how they keep her looking young. Fitsugar has the scoop on some of her notable quotes.

Hargitay, 44, says, "You know how you wake up in the morning and sometimes you look gorgeous and sometimes you look like you got hit by a Mack truck? I've realized my Mack truck is food. If I don't have sugar, yeast, and wine, I have no undereye bags and my skin is perfect!" However, when talking about indulgences, she adds, "I'm not going to give up wine for life. Everything in moderation. It's not about being fat or thin. I'm a full-figured woman. It's about, how am I going to keep up my energy." She also admits that she let her fitness routine fall to the wayside when filming the previous season of Law and Order: SVU but she's determined to get back into it in the off-season.

She sounds like a really grounded, balanced role model, don't you think?
