LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Jennifer Love Hewitt has a few qualms about recently saying she wished she spent more of her youth naked.

"I'm a little regretful about it," Jennifer told Access Hollywood's Nancy O'Dell on the 2008 Emmy red carpet.

Jennifer made the statement in an interview, which appeared in Health magazine last month, and she explained to Nancy on Sunday her reasons for making the statement.

"Well, I was explaining how a woman's body changes as you get older and so I was saying that my mom and my grandma were like, 'You're gonna one day be really happy about what you looked like when you were 15, 16, and 17 instead of worrying about it.' So I was like, 'I should have just walked around naked.' Anyway..."

"I agree," Jennifer's fiance, Ross McCall chimed in supportively. "Why not?"

"That would be great for you," Nancy said.

"That would be great for me," he said to his future wife, Jennifer. "I think we should definitely talk about this."

Jennifer, who inadvertently became an advocate for real women's bodies after she was photographed in her bikini in Hawaii last year -- and later criticized on blogs for her physique -- also told Nancy she thinks there is too much pressure put on women in Hollywood to look a certain way.

"There's an abnormal amount of pressure," the star, who recently shaped up and trained for a triathlon said. "I just think people, as long as you're healthy, I don't think it matters what you look like, but just be healthy."

    I really wish she had too. It was cruel for her not to. She "had" the best bust in hollywood. You can't go back. Duh!

    She lost weight , perhaps to be healthy, not too succumb to "peer-pressure". Either way, she looks great. I like her thinner self better. I like that she did not succumb to nudity, have 45 boyfriends in 2 years, and most importantly, spoke her heart against the main stream hollyweird crew. Like Amy Brenneman, she maintained her dignity. Rare in American culture today.

    i agree w/ disgruntled. J-love was right to come and be forward with her "normal" body. Then she came and lost a bunch of weight. So is she saying to go along with the crowd and stay skinny!

    I thought the whole Emmy performance was disgusting and boreing. The beginning was awful. Next year don't waste three hours of programing on such stupid entertainment.

    I think it is great to see and hear about her and other female artist push back at an industry that wants gross tigs for actresses and models

    Anyone else find it annoying that she came out and said she was happy with her curvier body and then turned around and dropped like 20lbs? She's back to looking like a stick figure again. I would have liked her better if she stayed the way she was.
