Jennifer Hudson landed on the cover of Self magazine's September issue, where she dished on her recent weight loss. The "Dreamgirls" superstar admitted she didn't know her weight was a problem until she was on American Idol in 2004.
"I didn't even know I was considered plus-sized until I came to Hollywood. I thought I was the perfect size! That changed on a red carpet, when "an interviewer asked, 'How does it feel to be plus-sized in Hollywood?' I looked around, like, Who is she talking to? Oh, me? I'm plus-sized? In the neighborhood I'm from in Chicago, a 16 is normal. But in Hollywood, everyone looks exactly the same, so I stood out."
Jennifer got serious about shedding the pounds after her 2-year-old son David was born, so she could set a good example for him.
