Jennifer Love Hewitt -- who underwent scrutiny last year for unflattering photos of her in a bikini -- is back in shape. And in October's Shape, she shares some practical tips.

"Instead of piling up food in my fridge that says, 'Come eat me!' I keep enough for only a couple of days," the actress, 30, says.

"And I rarely have treats around that might tempt me late at night, which is when I usually crave something really fattening," she adds. "What am I going to do? Drive out at 11 at night just to satisfy a craving? No, that's crazy."

Boyfriend of seven months Jamie Kennedy, who costars with her on CBS' Ghost Whisperer, also helps.

"He's inspired me to improve my diet," she says. "He has a salad with every meal, plus lots of fruit, fish, and vegetables."

Every morning during a trip to Monaco last summer, "We ran for 40 minutes through the streets of Monte Carlo. It was an amazing way to see the city. Now when we travel, we try to explore the places by running."

Her other tip?

Ever since she turned 30 this past February, she gives herself positive affirmations.

"I fall asleep feeling beautiful," she says. "Then, in the morning, before I leave the house, I say five things I love about myself, like, 'You have really pretty eyes.' That way I can go out into the world with that little bit of extra confidence. It’s a feel-good protein shake in my back pocket in case someone messes with me that day."

Still, being confident 24/7 isn't always easy.

"I'm a girl, after all!" she says. "For the most part, yeah, I'm happy with my body, but there are days when I'm like, 'Ugh! Really? Why is it so hard to fit into my jeans?' That’s when I say to myself, 'I look this way because I'm supposed to. If we all looked the same, we'd be boring.'"

    A place someone who can treat you as a king or who can spoil you like a queen, this is the great place. It's dedicated for those sugar daddies **** Sugarloves.Com **** who are rich and successful to support and pamper women who will treat you like a king and for sugar babies who are attractive and young to seek a generous benefactor to mentor and take care of you.

    look what the entertainment industry do to this gorgeous woman. she's having to give herself affirmations daily to deal with public criticism. it's all rather unhealthy and i really hope she gets good therapy to learn to accept herself better. or maybe the only answer is to leave the industry and feel okay not having to compete with ridiculously air brushed stars/models--like herself on this magazine. sigh.

    Jennifer looks AMAZING!! So what if her hips are wide? She's a woman! It's too bad more of Hollywood doesn't look like her and Jennifer Lopez. Not everyone can be a size O. I'd rather have her body than Eva Longoria's any day.

    did someone in the house call me white, the only thing white about me are my teeth, parts of my eyes, nails, im insulted im gonna get the prejudice czar after u if that doesn't work im sure obama will appoint an attitude czar. u simply aren't following the rules. now for healthcare there simply aren't enough doctors, with 45% saying they would retire or quit. now that leaves us with a terrible situation, where do we cut, oh i know our grannies, they've had their time in the sun, its time they make room for us young folks. we all need to get off our behinds and start making more money because they're gonna tax us to death, EVERYONE. That is ok, because we need to spread the wealth. work, now what does this mean, oh is that when u have a job and make money and pay ur rent, mortgage, bills, and maybe ur healthcare bill. im confused. well anyway lets all worship jennifers awesome body, lets leave here friends and go find a whale to save. lets go.

    Good for her. She looks good thin and she didn't look all that bad when she had some extra meat on her either.

    Wow a bitter republican! Our healthcare is a disaster, get on board for change and stop being a white elitist. Healthcare should be a right not a privilege only the wealthiest American. It would be great is you did charity work with in city youth. You would realize what a disaster our healthcare is. But IĆ¢??m sure that is beneath you.

    she so cute, what a sweetie. what a great shape, i wonder if obama helped her with her diet, as we all know obama thinks we cant do anything without him, what a swell guy. once he starts running our healthcare because of course he has a ph.d. in medicine., our lives will be better because of him, especially monitoring our dr. visits, and making cruicial medical decisions. maybe they can put a television in every doctors office running obama 24/7. because after all he cares for u, now let us all embrace.
