However, she recently revealed to The Guardian that CoolSculpting is one of her go-to treatments. “It was the easiest 30 minutes of my life,” she said. “I just got to lie on a comfy table and read my book. 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 continued. “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.”

"You can't live your life by the scale," she said. "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?" She recognizes that it’s unhealthy to check the scale every two seconds and beat yourself up. Seeing that number fluctuate might knock you off track and really it’s just bound to happen.

"The one thing I always like to really tell my busy executives, busy moms, busy dads ... that every little bit counts," Johnson says. "So don't ever tell yourself, well, I only have 10 minutes. Ten minutes is great...Taking a walk with a friend for a meeting can be a wonderful thing."

It’s so important to make time for health and wellness, even if you’re not in the mood. No one ever regrets working out after they’ve done it. Just push yourself to develop these healthy habits.

Gellar has supported her Cruel Intentions co-star and friend Selma Blair through Blair’s multiple sclerosis diagnosis. “This is my dear friend @selmablair,” Gellar wrote on Instagram. “Last night she stood on the world stage for the first time, since being diagnosed with MS. And later this week, she is taking an even bigger step, and speaking publicly on @goodmorningamerica (with, my girl crush @robinrobertsgma ) To say I’m proud, would be a gross understatement. 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.”
