The actress, 55, said that for a time she maintained being “too thin” — even though it made her sick.
“Unfortunately for a woman, if you’re underweight, you look good. And that’s all I ever got,” she told the host. “When I was too thin, I was sick all the time. A cold, sinus infection… I was always sick.”

Now, however, Kudrow said she tries to feel more at peace with her body.
“I have a whole battle all the time,” she said. “I end up with, ‘So what? So, all right. You’re older. That’s a good thing. Why is that a bad thing?’”
