London, Sep 24 - American actress-singer Jennifer Love Hewitt, who shows a terrific figure in a frilly bikini on the cover of Shape magazine's October issue, admits that she still has body hang-ups.

Two years ago Hewitt had received widespread criticism when she was pictured in a bikini with a fuller figure.

'I am a girl, after all! For the most part, I am happy with my body, but there are days when I am like, 'Ugh! Why is it so hard to fit into my jeans?' That is when I say to myself, 'I look this way because I'm supposed to. If we all looked the same, we would be boring',' femalefirst.co.uk quoted Love Hewitt as saying.

The 30-year-old actress credits her boyfriend Jamie Kennedy for helping her accept her body shape. He goes out of his way to tell her she is beautiful.
