46-year-old Mindy Kaling got candid during her interview on The View, admitting she’s wanted to lose weight since she was 12 years old. The actress, writer and mother also pushed back on the idea that women must choose between wanting health or wanting aesthetic goals, saying people often tell her to stop framing weight loss around her children’s health because “she just wants to look hot.” Her response? “Both can be true.” It’s a conversation many women quietly relate to. Sometimes the desire to feel healthier, stronger, more confident, more energetic and more attractive can exist at the same time, even if society prefers women to package their goals in more “acceptable” language. Do you think women are judged more harshly for openly admitting they want to change their bodies for appearance reasons? Cc: theviewabc mindykaling #Mindykaling #Afrogirlfitness
