Niecy Nash Loves Her Jiggly Parts

Whether you know Niecy Nash from Reno 911, Clean House or Dancing With the Stars you know there’s one thing this woman doesn’t lack … confidence. While she’s far from the size 2 Hollywood would have you believe is an ideal, Nash carries herself with style and sexiness.

Fitzness.com recently interviewed Niecy Nash. Here are my favorite bits of Nash wisdom:

- Eating habits boost performance. Nash readily admits that she loves to eat. But when she was on Dancing With the Stars, her favorite cheeseburgers left her feeling weighted down. Nash switched to healthier fare such as salads, lean protein and water in order to boost her energy and be at the top of her dancing game for practices and performances. The same holds true for all of us — and we don’t need to be on Dancing With the Stars to see it. When you eat healthfully, your energy will spike and you’ll be ready to tackle your day. Heavy, greasy foods not only add unwanted calories and fat — they also leave you feeling sluggish.

- “When you’re the only naked woman in the room, you look good!” Nash has admirable body confidence. She said “you may not be exactly where you want to be physically, but you should love yourself today.” What great advice! We should all strive to be a healthy version of ourselves, but that doesn’t mean we have to disparage or be down on the way we look right now. Your body — even if it has love handles and cellulite — is an amazing thing that you should be proud of.
