Amanda Seyfried is Self’s covergirl and she has a few things to share:

On obsessive exercising:
“I used to live, eat and sleep by an exercising schedule, and I couldn’t enjoy myself if I didn’t physical exertion And then I realized, What a waste product of time! My soft parts are probably never going away.”

On indulgences:
“I mean, at the end of the day, if you can’t have a Girl Scout biscuit and a piece of cheese, what is life all about?”

On body image:
“People may seem perfect, but that’s because they spend one thousand on trainer and diet and surgeries. If you have a negative body image, exercise, but not for your appearance The briny thing you can change is how you perceive yourself. stop looking at in the mirror and realize that you’re living for yourself, not other people.”

… says Amanda.
