Jennifer Hudson

 

Jennifer Hudson started out as an amateur singer on American Idol. She quickly moved up the latter to fame after taking a leading role in the movie Dream Girls. Her taking part in the movie did have to do with the fact that she was a “bigger” woman in comparison to her fellow actresses Beyoncé and Anika. After all this newly earned fame Jennifer Hudson had a drastic change in body image dropping more than a couple sizes and become what many would consider slender. The fact that Jennifer Hudson lost weight is not the issue at hand though it is what pushed her to change. Losing weight didn’t boost her career it made her look like everyone else in Hollywood. One can only wonder if the pressure that society exerts on individuals to look a certain way is becoming too strong. The “it” Body image is something that shouldn’t be defined by strict measurements or a specific size it should be judged in terms of how it affects your health.
