- Jennifer Hudson attends the Good Housekeeping cocktail party celebrating her new book
Singer and actress Jennifer Hudson is adding the title, ‘author’ to her already impressive resume with the launch and signing of her new inspirational memoir ‘I Got This: How I Lost What Weighed Me Down and Found Myself‘.
The 30-year-old Oscar and Grammy Award-winner was at a popular bookstore Barnes & Noble in New York City on Tuesday, January 10, 2012, where she signed copies of her book while showing off her trim physique to photographers.
The singer who shot to prominence as a finalist in the third season of popular American reality show, American Idol in 2004, claimed the decision to lose weight, which wasn’t stereotype-bound, was a personal issue.
‘By that point I had already won an Oscar. I had already defined myself to a certain extent in the industry being a big girl, being plus size, going off talent alone. I still did not get it or understand, like what is this big deal about image? I do not like being boxed in, I do not believe in limits, and I know that nobody knows your potential better than you’, she said
As of April 1, 2010, Hudson became the spokesperson for dieting products and services Weight Watchers and has reportedly lost over 80 pounds over a two-year period.
