Jennifer Love Hewitt wants to teach her daughter good self-esteem.
The ‘Ghost Whisperer’ actress admits she has often felt down about how hard it’s been to lose weight since giving birth to baby Autumn last November, but she is focusing on staying fit and healthy and hopes to raise her daughter to be equally confident about her body.
The 35-year-old star said: "If your priorities are right, the baby’s most important. You have to eat to feed to your baby. And I have a girl so I want her to see some day why her mom has good self-esteem and good body issues.
"It gets you down sometimes, I’m not going to lie. I’ve had days where I’m like, ‘Ugh, I wish this was easier.’ But it’s not, and that’s OK."
Jennifer – who is married to her ‘Client List’ co-star Brian Hallisay – is trying to stay positive about her weight-loss battle says her new maternity clothing line helps her feel "beautiful".
Speaking at the launch of her A Pea in the Pod maternity clothing line, L by Jennifer Love Hewitt, she told E! News: "It’s hard, it’s really hard. And I wasn’t sure where I was going to fall and what was going to happen and how I was going to feel. It just feels great to sort of be honest about the fact that it is tough and these clothes make it a little easier, make me feel beautiful.
"I’m still in a lot of my pregnancy clothes and there is just where I feel good right now. Everything hasn’t returned back to where I want it to be and put on my other clothes and feel good about that."
