    Hilary Duff felt too much pressure to be thin

    Hilary Duff once again admits that she felt enormous pressure to be thin and that, on her road to eating healthier, she took it too far:

    Pop singer/actress Hilary Duff was so impressed with the results of her ‘dessert or bread’ diet, she went crazy and accepts she lost too much weight.

    The "So Yesterday" singer stunned fans late last year when she appeared at a series of parties and launches looking waif-like and skinny.

    The backlash made Duff take a long hard look at herself in the mirror–and she didn’t like what she saw.

    She says, "I made a conscious choice to get in shape. I’ve always been a junk food eater, but I started paying more attention to what I put in my body and cut out foods like pizza, chicken fingers and French fries.

    "If I knew I’d want dessert one night, I wouldn’t have bread that day. If I wanted to eat bread, I wouldn’t have dessert.

    "Seeing how well it worked motivated me to keep going, but I hit a period when I got too skinny. I wasn’t too obsessed with it, but I did learn that there have to be days when you just don’t think about it."

    You can see from the pictures that Hilary Duff was way too thin. Now, although still thin, she’s much healthier looking.

    Hilary Duff insists she’s “normal”

    Hilary Duff appeared on the Today Show, where she was interviewed for a couple of minutes and performed. Here are some excerpts from her interview:

    She talked with TODAY co-host Meredith Vieira about "Dignity" and being 19 and living on her own with her 22-year-old sister, actress and singer Haylie Duff.

    "We’re trying to learn how to cook so we can feed ourselves," she told Vieira. "Haylie’s better than I am, but I can bake, which is good."…

    "Are you trying to be adult?" Vieira asked Duff.

    "People have watched me grow up for such a long time that everybody thinks that it’s this huge, new thing that I’m trying to do," she said. There was no conscious decision involved. Rather, she said, "It’s like the first time that I wanted to write my own music and come up with my own sound.

    "I’m a little bit older. It’s where I am in my life right now."…

    "’Nineteen’ and ‘dignity’ don’t go together" very often these days, Vieira observed before asking Duff what her secret is.

    "I don’t know," she said. "I wish there was some kind of formula I could explain. I guess it’s just the way you want to be seen, and what you do in your personal time and how much you want the public to know about that.

    "I’m very close to my family. I’m very normal. If I’m not working — I work pretty much every day — I hang out with my dog and I live with my sister."

    She doesn’t rely on material things for security, she said, adding, "My band and my crew — I rely on them and my dog."…

    Hilary & Haylie - sisterly antics

    Here is a funny story about how Hilary Duff used to fight with Haylie:

    HILARY DUFF used to destroy her sister HAYLIE’s underwear.

    The Stranger singer has revealed she fought constantly with her older actress sister and would play cruel tricks on her.

    Hilary, 19, told Top Of The Pops magazine: "If Haylie had friends over to stay when we were little and they left me out I’d freeze their underwear!

    "I’d wet the knickers, put them in the freezer and snap them to ruin them."

    But she said 22-year-old Haylie always got her own back.

    "Whatever I did, Haylie always got me back. Older siblings know how to be good fighters – when you’re younger you just hit back.

    "I’m sure there were a couple of flying hairbrushes."

    Hilary added: "When Haylie and I were really young and we played games together – she’d always make me pretend to be a boy because I had short hair. I hated it!"

    Hilary Duff Shape Magazine

    Hilary Duff appears on the July cover of Shape Magazine in a bathing suit - a bikini at that - and gives an interview on how she buffed up for the revealing photoshoot. The magazine will hit stands on June 29th.

    Yes folks, that is Hilary Duff in a bikini!

    Hilary Duff admits in the interview that it is hard to be in the public eye:

    "Being in the public eye, it is really hard," she admits. "Everyone is constantly criticizing you and picking you apart. You see these magazines and people are enjoying themselves on the beach, and people are zooming in on their cellulite. They notice everything about their body. It is mean and it is hard to stay sane."

    Now, Hilary Duff has a healthier attitude towards food and exercise - one that reveals her choices to live a strong and healthy life, rather than cave to pressures to be thin. Hilary is now involved with the "Stay fit. Eat right. Looking good, California!" campaign.

    Here is some of what Hilary Duff reveals in her interview:

    SELF: Are you in the best shape of your life?

    Hilary Duff: My sister and I last year really started to motivate each other to eat better and work out together and lose weight. We used to be so bad. Jack in the Box was my weakness, burgers and pizza and dessert all the time. I can’t even believe I used to eat as badly as I did. French fries were an obsession also, and I completely stopped eating them a year ago. It’s funny that when you don’t let yourself have something for a while you don’t miss it as much.

    How often do you do pilates?

    I try to do pilates three times a week. It’s hard, though, because now I’ve told all my friends about my pilates instructor and my little secret place and now I can’t even get my own appointment! I’ll also go to the gym with my sister and friend and do cardio.

    Like what?

    I run on the treadmill. I start off in a power walk on a high incline to warm up so I won’t get cramps and stuff, and then I’ll lower it. I can’t jog on an incline. I’d be so tired! I also do the elliptical. I get really out of breath and get a headache on the treadmill, so the elliptical is better. Also, it works your arms.

    Plus, there’s no danger of falling off!

    You know what’s funny? I was at the gym yesterday with my best girlfriend and it was raining hard so our tennis shoes were wet. We were thinking what if we fall off and slip? And this really big guy did it. He fell off his treadmill. I was trying not to laugh but it was so funny. And it made this huge thud noise. We were like, thank God that wasn’t us!

    You credit pilates with your weight loss.

    With everything! Seriously, my body changed in three weeks. I’ve always been really muscular; that’s why pilates is good for me. I have broad shoulders and if I do weights or something I’ll bulk up and feel manly, but pilates lengthens me out. Also you feel really powerful.

    Do you have an eating philosophy?

    Eating should be fun. I did Atkins for three days and I was in the worst mood and so tired. I’m from Texas, so I’m a big meat eater, but I was like oh, no more! I believe in proportion. If I eat bread when they bring bread to the table, I won’t eat pasta or potatoes. Or I’ll try to not have the bread because I know I want dessert. A little bit of this, a little bit of that.

    How would you eat differently if you had more time?

    Probably I’d be able to have a more balanced diet. Because sometimes, I’ll eat something in the morning but then I could spend all day driving around going to meetings, doing this, doing that. I don’t have time to eat so I’ll be so starving for dinner that I’ll eat anything in sight. That’s when you get in trouble, I think. If you try to eat more throughout the day, then you’re more controlled. It helps a lot if I’m around my mom. She’s a diabetic, so she has to eat five times a day or else her blood sugar goes all crazy. That’s a good way to go about things.

    You’re launching a new clothing line. You don’t show a lot of skin. Why don’t you have to expose everything to be sexy or look good?

    When I feel sexy, I don’t always have fewer clothes on. My clothing line is for girls who are 7 to 14, so we’d never do [overtly sexy clothes] anyway, but I have a line coming out for girls who are 15 to 20 and it’ll be stuff I’d wear. I know when I wear something that’s a little more skimpy, there have been cases where I feel insecure about myself. I don’t feel confident. I’d rather wear a pencil skirt, something I’d feel sexy in. I just think that there is so much more about not showing off everything you have that’s sexy, and leaving sex to the imagination and feeling confident.

    Hilary greets AfterEllen.com

    Hilary Duff sent AfterEllen.com, a lesbian website, a little hello note to all her fans there. Not quite sure why. And neither are they. I would be suspicious of it being fake because it’s not on her official YouTube, but it’s hard to fake quite that much:
