Gellar tells SELF that she doesn’t own a scale, and doesn’t believe in weighing herself. "You can't live your life by the scale. We don't even have one in our house. I've never believed in them, because your weight fluctuates. It's more about how my clothing fits than a number. Besides, if you deny yourself everything because you're so focused on the mirror or the scale, then when do you get to enjoy life?"

Sarah Michelle Gellar still slays—this time in a swimsuit. The 44-year-old mother of two snapped a quick selfie before a beach day. “No one is full of more false hope then a parent that brings a chair to the beach. Or a book,” she wrote on Instagram, along with #weekend. “Who wrote that? Mark Twain? Dorthy Parker?” joked actress Lindsay Price, who used to star on All My Children alongside Gellar. “Anyway, I’m getting it on a T-shirt. I’ll get u one. ( Also woah),” she added with a fire emoji.

When I have a cold, I want to hide from the world under my covers. But not Selma. She is facing this diagnosis, the way she faces everything, with dignity, grace and head on. I know the support and encouragement that she has received on this platform has truly been a source of strength for her. This is not an easy journey, but Selma will not let this define her.”

1. She Paddleboards

During her vacation in the tropics, Sarah shared a photo of herself paddleboarding. “Taking a selfie on paddle board is not easy,” she captioned one of her snaps on her Instagram stories. This helps work all her muscles, including her core. "Core exercises train the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and stability, whether on the playing field or in daily activities. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Juices

That's my favorite thing before I work out.”

3. She Loves This Vibrating Workout

Sarah’s go-to workout is unconventional. “I love PlateFit and the feeling of being on a Power Plate,” Gellar said about go-to workout. “I love how quickly I can work out and get such a great exercise.” She also engages in some other forms of exercise. “I love Pilates because it centers me and it also strengthens my body, but I also love being outside, so swimming, hiking, anything like that is great as well.”

If Gellar has one “beauty/self-care must-have,” it is rest. “It's probably sleep because I need it and I'm very cranky without it,” she revealed.

5. She Does Cool Sculpting

While Sarah isn’t interested in going under the knife at this point in her life, she recently revealed to The Guardian that CoolSculpting is one of her go-to treatments. “The treatment didn’t hurt, it just felt cold for a few seconds and then I didn’t feel anything. It was very peaceful. I was just happy to have a few minutes to myself, and then I got to leave feeling better about myself – a win-win,” she explained. “I don’t weigh myself, I don’t measure myself but I could tell within a week how my clothing was feeling and fitting, how my jeans were buttoning back up. I was like, ‘I’m gonna go to the gym and work even harder now.’ It gave me my confidence back in such an easy and noninvasive way.”

6. She Snacks

In an interview with E! Online, Sarah revealed she loves snacking. Her faves? “Cheese and crackers. And chips and salsa. And fruit and veggies. The list goes on…” she said.

7. She’s All About Self-Care

Sarah prioritizes self-care. “Sometimes, I’m so tired at the end of the day I just want to go to bed, but I have to take time for myself to take a bath, read a book, or catch up with my friends so I don’t lose myself in the minutiae of the day,” she told Bustle.

8. She Uses This to Help Her Sleep

Sarah revealed to Bustle the secret sleep tool. “I can sleep anywhere if I have this weighted sand eye pillow. I was traveling once, and TSA took it away from me. I was devastated. The anxiety of going to sleep without it was very difficult for me. I also need it to be cold. I cannot sleep if I’m too hot,” she said.

9. She Doesn’t Sweat the Numbers On the Scale

Sarah doesn’t put a lot of focus on her weight. “I don't believe in trying to trick your body into things,” she told Health. “I eat healthy, I exercise, I love food—but I don't like junk food. I mean, we're women. We go up by five pounds, we lose it, depending on the water, the moon, your cycle, whatever. So I just try to maintain.”
