Jessica Alba Had Body Image Issues

It looks like even beautiful people suffer from body image issues.

Jessica Alba sat down for an interview with Health magazine to discuss what her life is like now as a mom. The 32-year-old admits that a lot has changed since she first got into the business 20 years ago.

For example, the way she feels about her body now has changed completely. She revealed to the magazine that she used to be very self-conscious about her body,

“I was a lot more critical of my body when it was probably pretty awesome. It’s like, why did I not ever wear jean shorts? That’s so crazy. I was so skinny! I didn’t have any cellulite…what was I thinking? I was more willing to wear short skirts after I had my kids. I never wore them before. Ever.

I was so self-conscious…now I am a lot more confident in my skin–because who cares? At the end of the day, it’s so much time spent on something that doesn’t really matter that much.”

And I am sure all of the people out there with true body image issues are crying their eyes out right now. I’ve already seen a lot of people complaining about her comments,

“BODY IMAGE ISSUES? JESSICA ALBA? SHE’S JUST LOOKING FOR ATTENTION! SHE’S GORGEOUS.”

“BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE CAN’T HAVE FEELINGS!”

“JESSICA ALBA WAS NOT CONFIDENT ABOUT HER BODY? THERE IS NO HOPE FOR ME…I NEED AN ICE CREAM CONE.”

Calm down, people. It doesn’t matter how hot you are, there is still probably one thing you hate about your body. Like me, I can’t stand how incredibly large my penis is. It should be in the circus or something, it’s just so embarrassing.
