Singer, actress, and designer, Jennifer Hudson covers the latest issue of REDBOOK Magazine photographed by Ruven Afandor. In the article she dishes on loving and dressing for her new body, her new fashion line, and how she copes during the holidays after tragically loosing her mother and nephew.

On how she feels after her weight loss transformation:

“I’m getting used to my new self more than anything else. I got used to being plus-sized and knowing how to be that, whereas this is like, ‘Okay, who am I?’ I keep thinking that I probably need an extra-large or a large and the stylist is like, ‘No, you need a medium or a small.'”

On resisting holiday food temptation:

“My biggest thing is banana pudding, but it’s the devil! So no one is allowed to bring it into my house. Because I can’t control myself. So why put it in my domain?”

Perhaps it’s that gorgeous winter white embroidered frock she’s wearing that is making me think she’s a little fuller, but she says she’s officially at her goal weight. I just have one question: When’s the wedding J Hud?!

You can grab the December issue of REDBOOK on newsstands November 13th. Read the entire article over at Redbook.
