It's worth noting that Hilary Duff was just 11 years old when she burst onto the scene back in 1998. Within just a few short years, Duff was fronting her own Disney show, and she still vividly remembers how it felt to be put under the microscope because of her looks.
As Duff told Women's Health, there was major pressure to be skinny, which even led to her briefly developing an eating disorder. "It was horrifying. Because of my career path, I can't help but be like, 'I am on camera and actresses are skinny,'" Duff acknowledged.
Thankfully, nowadays, after giving birth to three healthy children, Duff can take pride in her appearance and appreciate her body for everything it's given her. "I've gotten to a place of being peaceful with the changes my body has gone through," she noted.
The Disney alum regularly sees a therapist, too, arguing that physical and mental health go hand in hand. Duff even confidently posed nude for the cover of Women's Health. It was a terrifying moment for her, but the former child star is glad she did it, admitting to ET, "I'm not that person that cruises around my house naked, ever."
Thankfully, as Duff noted while sharing the shots on Instagram, posing nude ultimately made her feel "strong and beautiful."
