Despite a busy schedule, Ginnifer, 32, makes self-care a top priority. She’s naturally curvy, but also reveals in Health magazine that she’s careful not to over-indulge. She’s a longtime member of Weight Watchers, which helps keep her weight on track so she can “button my pants.”

Ginnifer is also careful to not let a few extra pounds shatter her self-worth, adding, “Even when I’m too heavy, I’m still confident because I never actually let myself go. I can be indulgent for six months and put on some weight, but I still never actually get to the point of being unhappy and self-destructive.”

The longtime vegan also reveals to Health her go-to snack, which is instant oatmeal mixed with P& J. “Make some instant oatmeal, and put a tiny spoonful of peanut butter and a tiny spoonful of jelly in it, and mush it all up. it is like a mushy peanut butter-and-jelly. It’s genius. and it’s very satisfying.”
