She’s looking better than ever these days, but that doesn’t mean Hilary Duff isn’t struggling with her body image deep down! In fact, the Younger star reveals that when she was a teenager, she weighed only a measly 98 pounds — and it got dangerous.
“Everyone was so hard on me because it took me a year and a half to get my body back,” she told Health Magazine of her post-baby body. “When I was 17, I weighed, like, 98 pounds. I was totally obsessed with everything I put in my mouth. I was way too skinny. Not cute. And my body wasn’t that healthy — my hands would crap a lot because I wasn’t getting the nutrition I needed.”
Now, though, the 27-year-old is a lot more confident about her figure…to an extent. “This is the body that I have,” she says. “I have a very athletic build, and I am so proud of what my body has done for me. I had the best, healthiest, strongest pregnancy. And I feel good about myself. But I feel like I’m always in a 5-pound battle, because being 5 feet 2, everything is going to show on me!”
And besides just dealing with body image PLUS a new album and TV show, Hilary is also raising a 2-year-old son, Luca, while amicably separated from husband, Mike Comrie. “We really didn’t see it going any other way,” she admitted of their co-parenting style. “We have a 2-year-old together. We love each other. Obviously it wasn’t a rash decision that we made. We really are just trying to figure out how we are the most happy — whether together or apart — and we’re doing it as lovingly as possible.”
