AMANDA Seyfried used to exercise religiously — until she realized she was wasting her time!

The actress admits she loved to work out like crazy, but has since decided she can’t be bothered.

“I used to live, eat and sleep by an exercise schedule, and I couldn’t enjoy myself if I didn’t exercise. And then I realized, What a waste of time! My soft parts are probably never going away,” Amanda, 24, says in the new issue of Self magazine.

“I mean, at the end of the day, if you can’t have a Girl Scout cookie and a piece of cheese, what is life all about?”

“People may seem perfect, but that’s because they spend thousands on trainers and diets and surgeries,” she adds. “If you have a negative body image, exercise, but not for your appearance.

“The main thing you can change is how you perceive yourself. Stop looking in the mirror and realize that you’re living for yourself, not other people.”

Amanda — who’s currently dating British actor Dominic Cooper — recently admitted she hates seeing her face on movie posters.

“I hate it man,” she said earlier this month.

“When I’m driving in town it’s really ‘eurggghhh!’. It’s more like, oh well, hope for the best. I hope it attracts people. Posters are meant to attract people to see movies!

“It’s a responsibility I don’t necessarily feel I was ready for.”
