Drew Barrymore is getting candid about her approach to self-care. The actress and talk show host shared a photo of her scale along with a note that reads: “Say something kind to yourself.” In her Instagram caption, the 46-year-old mother of two – who has spoken openly about body image and fluctuations in her weight – shared how she’s using her holiday break to prioritize herself and her well-being. The Never Been Kissed star has committed herself to practicing some healthy living – no longer ‘eating like crap,’ meditating, being active – but stressed
to fans that her week of wellness had
nothing to do with her weight.
“The point of wellness to me is the mental!” Barrymore wrote. “I am exhausted from work. I don’t care what the number says! But, I feel bloated from eating like crap. Sleeping too little. Working so much.
I have a week off and I plan to scrape those barnacles! I need a redo reboot. And it doesn’t matter what my number is.
I wanted to start to show my beginning of the week, to show myself what I was capable of, if I had a week to actually practice that term ‘self care’ and I think it’s a load, because most of the time, we don’t actually have time to do it,” she added.
