The talented Jennifer Hudson graces the February cover of Good Housekeeping.

STORY: Jennifer Hudson Sets Secret Date For Wedding! 

The new mom dishes on her new baby boy, losing over 80 pounds and some of her food cravings in the magazine. Check out some clips from her interview below:

On her old weight size: “Early on, I remember one of the musical directors telling me that everything about me was too big – my voice, my size, and my personality. [I asked her,] ‘Isn’t that what being a star is?’ Stars are larger than life!”

On her son, David Jr: “What’s funny is that he’s never known me overweight. If he sees a clip of the old Jennifer from Dreamgirls, he doesn’t know who it is.”

On her fiance, David: “Let me tell you, this man goes bananas. When I wake up that morning in February, I can’t see through the house because he’s got confetti and balloons everywhere, rose petals on the floor, and candles in every single room.”

On her food cravings: “I’ll find a calm, peaceful moment, and I’ll sit back and eat my chocolate, which I make sure is really good quality, too. Quality over quantity!”

Jennifer is obviously one lucky girl, she has an adorable baby boy, an exuberant finance and some pretty high end chocolate!
