Check out the new Fitness magazine coming out on August 14th! They’ve got a GREAT interview with funny lady, Kathy Griffin. Not only does she talk about her experiences with plastic surgery, but they also discuss in length how it feels like to be living in a 47-year old body both physically and mentally.

Here are some excerpts of that interview:

ON AN ENVIABLE HOLLYWOOD FIGURE: “I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m never going to be Jennifer Aniston. I spent too long trying to get a body like Jennifer Aniston. It never worked. I had liposuction, and everything else. Then I realized, oh, what if I just ate better and exercised.”

ON BEING 47: “I’ll say to my younger friends, C’mon I have a hot body, right? I mean not a hot body Hollywood style. But it’s hot for 47. So that’s my new thing. I like my body now. For 47, it’s pretty darn good. For 27, it’s not great. For 47, it’s pretty good…I actually obsessed about it so much more. That’s really the best thing about 47. When I think about when I was 27, it was all I thought about. I was constantly denying foods that I wanted and binging on foods when I was hungry and going on every crazy diet. Now it’s on my mind of course, but…I’ve come to accept I’m going to fluctuate five pounds over the year.”

ON WORKING OUT: “It doesn’t mean you have to schlep to the gym every day or have a trainer or whatever. So that’s something I’m more open to. And exercise doesn’t always have to be this nightmare trip to the gym. For me, when I started going to the gym, I would feel inadequate. I’d be next to the bimbo with the perfect body and big tits and I’d be kind of going if I worked out more I could look like her. And I was never going to look like her. And I’m actually doing fine not looking like her—and most women do fine not looking like her.”

ON STANDUP EXERCISE: “Also, by the way, I just want to say that when you’re doing standup for two hours a show and two shows a night, that’s a workout itself. So when I’m walking off stage covered in sweat that’s got to be some kind of workout.”

THOUGHTS ON HER BODY NOW: “I like my body now more than I did two decades ago.”

HER FAVE SNACK: “Peanut butter. It’s pure protein but won’t drag you down like a burger. When I’m on tour, I have my own personal jar—I’m fancy like that—and I eat it with a spoon.”
