Actress Amanda Peet, mom to 3-year-old Frances Penn (and pregnant with her second child!), wants to raise a daughter who doesn’t diet, she tells Self magazine.
“Having a daughter makes you see things a little differently. I’m hoping she’ll be naturally healthy without having to count and assess and weigh constantly. I certainly don’t want her obsessed with exercise or diet or calories or body image. I’m dying for her mental time to be spent looking outward, even if that sounds corny.”
Corny? Far from it! Peet herself has dreams of becoming ‘a better exerciser’ and finding a workout routine that she loves, instead of a ‘binging’ on different exercises.
“About every six weeks, I’ll binge. I’ll start going to Spinning with my friend Sarah…It’s like I’ve got a new identity! I’m a biker! Then a week later, I’m sitting on the couch saying, You know Sarah, I think I’ll sit this one out.’ It’s a disaster.”
While she’s on that couch, Amanda sometimes gets to indulge her celebrity obsession: Julia Louis-Dreyfus! She and her husband are fans of The New Adventures of Old Christine.
“I’m obsessed with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. If she knew how much she was in my household late at night or in the wee hours of the morning, she might be disturbed! [Husband] David and I both have a crush on her.”
