Jennifer Love Hewitt And Jamie Kennedy Stay Fit Together

Jennifer Love Hewitt rocks the cover of Shape magazine this month in a flirty, ruffled bikini. And Jennifer tells Shape that fitness has become a regular part of her lifestyle- and the lifestyle of her boyfriend Jamie Kennedy.  In fact, Jamie’s been a great influence on Jennifer:

 ”He’s inspired me to improve my diet. He has a salad with every meal, plus lots of fruit, fish, and vegetables. Last summer we were in Monaco. Every morning we ran for 40 minutes through the streets of Monte Carlo. It was an amazing way to see the city. Now when we travel, we try to explore the places by running.”  

Jennifer’s also changed the shape of her pantry in order to stay in shape:

“Instead of piling up food in my fridge that says ‘Come eat me!’ I keep enough for only a couple of days. And I rarely have treats around that might tempt me late at night, which is when I usually crave something really fattening. What am I going to do? Drive out at 11 at night just to satisfy a craving? No, that’s crazy.”

Last year Jennifer told US Weekly that she lost 18 pounds in 10 weeks. Why the sudden loss?  Media attention to her weight gain made her “a little embarrassed. It made me a little sad. It hurt my feelings.” 

Today Jennifer’s looking great and feeling great- but still struggles with confidence. She reasons that those issues are a part of life- and our different body shapes are what makes us interesting.

 ”For the most part, yeah, I’m happy with my body, but there are days when I’m like, ‘Ugh! Really? Why is it so hard to fit into my jeans?’ That’s when I say to myself, ‘I look this way because I’m supposed to. If we all looked the same, we’d be boring.’”
