Here is something we haven’t seen in quite some time… Jennifer Love Hewitt in a bikini!

After finding these new pictures, which were from just yesterday, I decided to dig up an older photo to see how her weight compared to last year.

So here is Jennifer in January 2006:

And her is Jennifer now (Nov 2007):

There is definitely a difference… she seems to be quite a bit larger in the hip and arm areas now!

There is definitely some cellulite, but not a whole lot:

All in all, can’t help but be impressed, because she seems very happy with her figure despite it not being perfect. Go Jennifer!

She received a lot of criticism on blogs for her body and she’s mad about it! Jennifer recently posted the following on her website:

“This is the last time I will address this subject.

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.

A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn’t make you beautiful.

What I should be doing is celebrating some of the best days of my life and my engagement to the man of my dreams, instead of having to deal with photographers taking invasive pictures from bad angles. I know what I look like, and so do my friends and family. And like all women out there should, I love my body.

To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini — put it on and stay strong.

Xoxo

Good for her, for sticking up for herself! I can’t even imagine how hard it would be to maintain a healthy body image while having people constantly taking your photograph and criticizing even the tiniest of flaws.
