Jessica Simpson is opening up about the positive mindset that helped her lose weight and feel more confident in her body! The stunning With You singer, 42, sat down for an interview with People Magazineto discuss learning to love herself at every size shes been, struggles with self-esteem when in the public eye, and how she practices self-care.
As a fashion designer, Simpson also explained how she believes she has the experience and ability tounderstand women, what they want out of life at different stages, and finding clothes that promote confidence.I understand the mentality of all women, and I understand loving where youre at or wanting more or wanting something better, Simpson told People,I understand that.
After dealing with years of weight fluctuation and harsh media scrutiny that attempted to knock her down, Simpson said she learned to love her body after giving birth to three children and marveling at her strength.I always celebrate my body. The fact that it made children is unreal, she shared, but you just dont ever think youre going to fit back into things. Its crazy. A womans body is phenomenal in what it can do.
Back in April, Simpson uploaded a full-body photo of herself rockinga bikiniand indicated in her caption that her toned figure was the result of Hard work. Determination. Self Love. The Take My Breath Away hitmaker also confessed that she cried tears of joy at reaching the milestone after feeling defeated and exhausted at the end of her pregnancies. In her comment section, fans offered an outpouring of supportive words, and many even wrote that they could relate to Simpsons postpartum body experience as well as feeling as if self-worth is tied to appearance. Many users at the time thanked her for sharing her story of self-love, which inspired them to pursue their own.
In a Today show interview that same month, Simpson, whoshares children Maxwell, 9, Ace, 8, and Birdie, 3, with husband Eric Johnson credited her positive mindset to the act of throwing out her scale. After years of struggles with body image, Simpson explained that doing this made her feel happier with her appearance and more confident in her current (and beautiful!) natural state.I threw it out, she said of her scale, joking that having it around felt like a Ouija board in church. [I have] no idea how much I weigh, she said with a smile, proving that this method works for her!
