Jennifer Love Hewitt has dropped 18 pounds and she looks great. She says she feels great and that her energy level has increased, so that's obviously a good thing. And I'm certainly not against anyone shedding a few pounds if it improves their health and makes them feel good. But, I have to admit, I'm a bit disappointed.

Late last year, Hewitt was totally lambasted by the media for some less-than-flattering photos of her in a bikini. Whether you, I, or the paparazzi think she needed to lose any weight then is immaterial. Her response to all the bikini-related press was, in my opinion, nothing short of beautiful. Hewitt said "I've sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women's bodies are constantly scrutinized. To set the record straight, I'm not upset for me, but for all of the girls out there that are struggling with their body image." She appeared confident and happy with her appearance. I thought she really set a great example for being healthy and confident with your body -- even if you have some flaws.

Hewitt said "If I do work out more it will be for my health." I sincerely hope that her health was the only motivation for her current weight loss and that media pressure or any insecurities that developed as a result of it had nothing to do with it.

Can women not escape a little weight gain anymore?

Recently the media has given too much negative attention to Jennifer Love Hewitt, who was photographed wearing a bikini while being a little out of shape. She is a normal woman and reflects a body image that she is comfortable with. Like most women in the world, she is not Barbie-doll thin and still looks awesome with curves.

So what's wrong with being happy and relaxed with your body and the way you look, no matter what size you are? Sadly, in our society you have to be a size 0 to be considered attractive.

Every woman's body is different but we should all eat food to improve our health and overall well-being. Eating healthy and moderation is really the best way to live. I think every woman should embrace her body for what it is and forget the media hype.

And PS: Even size 0 girls have cellulite, too.
