Hilary Duff No Longer Obsessed With Her Weight

There was a point at which Hilary Duff succumbed to the pressures of Hollywood and flirted with anorexia, but the teen starlet says that’s a thing of the past.

Hilary Duff looks so good that she was chosen for the cover of Us Weekly’s first annual swimsuit issue. But when the singer/actress was 15, she came across a press report criticizing her for her weight.

“It made me obsessed,” she tells Us of the story that drove her into a hard-core diet and exercise binge. “I would beat myself up if I had some fat.”

But when the 5-foot-2 star’s weight plummeted to around 100 pounds in 2005 (down from 130 in 2003), her sister Haylie, 22, finally intervened.

“She said, ‘Why are you being so strict with yourself? ‘It was like an awakening,” says Duff, who eased up on her rigorous program.

“I don’t want to be so skinny that people are like, Oh my god, she’s lost a lot of weight.”

Now, at 19, Duff tells Us that she’s content at 109 pounds. “As you get older, you just get more comfortable in your own skin.”

I don’t really see how a difference of less than ten pounds indicates some zen spiritual awakening of being comfortable in your own skin, and hearing anyone who still has “teen” as part of their age talk about getting older seems more than a little disingenuous, but she seems sweet, so let’s pretend she didn’t say anything and just smile and nod.

She really did look fantastic in the pictures taken of her at the beach last week, so she gets a pass.
