Jennifer Garner is featured in Self magazine this month and she has such a healthy outlook on life and fitness that I can’t help but want to meet her in person. (note to Jennifer, feel free to give me a call. We’ll hang out. Thanks!)

When asked what she thinks about the constant speculation that she is pregnant again, she responds:

“everyone continues to think I’m two months pregnant. But at this point, it’s just laziness! I think your body shifts. If I gained weight before, it didn’t go to my stomach. Now it’ll go to my stomach and lower half. Where I used to be flat, now—when I wear at t-shirt–you see a little bit of normal person.”

She accepts the fact that her body and lifestyle is different now that she is a mom. She doesn’t obsess about working out constantly like some other (J-Lo?) celebrity moms and says that she is just “trying to feel good”. As far as working out, she says she gets up early to either exercise with a trainer or do Pilates but “if I need to cancel, I cancel”.

Sounds to me like Ben Affleck married the right Jennifer.

    I really miss seeing Jen on Alias. Seeing her kick bad guy butt always inspired me. I think she is one of the most balanced celebs out there.

    I didn’t think I could love her any more but now I soooo do! I love that she gains weight in her lower tummy now. I so want to be best friends with her. When you get her to call you, Lisa, you must arrange brunch for all of us;)

    I love that she is actually with her daughter all of the time- not just for photo ops. She goes to the playground all of the time, they really seem to know each other, unlike some of those stars you see with their accessories- I mean kids- who they only are seen with shopping at Kitson or going to movie premiers. She seems to be a parent for the sake of being a parent.
    And I have to admit, I had never seen her in anything until Juno- is that sad??

    So great to see someone who accepts mother hood and her body for what it is. And so rare in Hollywood - seems like every celeb who has babies is back in bikinis by week two.

    I love that picture of her with her baby!
