Candice Bergen is embracing her curvy new body!
The 68-year-old actress is opening up about her weight in her new memoir, "A Fine Romance." (excerpted by "Today").
"Let me just come right out and say it: I am fat," she declares. "In the past 15 years ... I have put on 30 pounds."
"I live to eat," the "Murphy Brown" star adds. "None of this 'eat to live' stuff for me. I am a champion eater. No carb is safe — no fat, either."
The model-turned-actress goes on to compare her own eating habits to those of her "skinny friends," calling out the unhealthy practices some woman have used to stay slim.
"They maintain their weight by routinely vomiting after major meals consisting of a slice of steak or a filet of fish," she reveals. "I am incapable of this."
"Dieting is out of my purview," she continues. "I crave cookies...all the things that dilate my pupils."
"At a recent dinner party I shared bread and olive oil, followed by chocolate ice cream with my husband. A woman near me looked at me, appalled, and I thought, 'I don't care,'" she writes.
"A Fine Romance" is a follow-up to Bergen's first book, "Knock Wood."
In the autobiography, she describes the big events in her life, including her marriage to famous French director Louis Malle, the birth of her daughter, Chloe, her role on "Murphy Brown" and even unwanted headlines when Dan Quayle pulled her into the 1992 presidential campaign.
The book hits shelves April 7 -- are you excited to read it? Sound off below!
