Ashley Benson Talks Body Image

Pretty Little Liars actress Ashley Benson recently sat down for an interview with Health Magazine, where she talked about body image. The magazine quotes her as follows:

"I get told all the time to lose weight. I got that a month ago. It's just weird. With my stuff recently, it's been, 'You have to be skin and bones or you're not getting it.' It's come up a few times in the last few years, like, 'You're too fat for this.' And I'm just sitting here like, 'Wait, what? Do you want a skeleton?' But I feel good. I don't want to lose 20 pounds, because I don't need to...There was a point where it was getting to where a size 2 was great. I'm a size 2, but I think that a size 4 is healthy. I think that all of these sizes are healthy."

On how she stays in shape:
"I usually do Pilates three days a week for an hour, and I try to box or do SoulCycle two or three times a week. There are times I just want to do nothing! But then I don't feel good about myself."

On her "healthy living idol," Gwyneth Paltrow:
"I have one of her cookbooks, and I think she looks beautiful. When I look at all the pictures in her cookbook, I'm like, 'Wow, I already feel better,' you know?"

On body inspiration Jenna Dewan Tatum:
"She is, like, the cutest thing. Her body right now is so incredible—and she's had a kid! I would obviously say, like, every supermodel, like Candice Swanepoel and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley—but that is just so not my body."
