B.J. Novak Shares Secret to Decades-Long Friendship With Mindy Kaling
Never has Mindy Kaling ever wished she could share wisdom like this.
The Office alum reflected on the one piece of wellness advice she would give her younger self, and her answer held a lot of weight.
In a video shared to TikTok Oct. 17, the 46-year-old told Shop Today that she wished a younger Mindy cared less about weighing herself, saying, “Don’t worry about the scale.”
Indeed, while the Never Have I Ever creator has displayed a noticeably fitter figure in recent years, she has been vocal about her weight loss mindset being driven by a focus on overall health.
“I’ve tried really hard to let go of this idea of losing weight for vanity reasons and really trying to think of how I can be healthy,” she told People in 2022. “And for me, healthy is working out, moving my body a lot, keeping hydrated, and then not having negative connotations around working out and making me feel like if I don’t do this, then I won’t be something else.”
Plus, Mindy noted that her kids Katherine, 7, Spencer, 5, and Anne, 19 months, have “completely changed the way” she thinks about fitness.
