Jessica Alba might just be one of the busiest celebrity moms around. When she is not chasing after her two daughters with husband Cash Warren, she might be reading lines for her current acting gig. Or she could be in the boardroom completely proving that she is more than capable of running the million-dollar company she founded, The Honest Company. In January, you will find Alba covering the latest issue of Natural Health.
While the actress admits that she rarely gets through a business meeting without candy and popcorn, which are office staples, she still often comes under fire for being extremely thin. Alba has always worked out a lot and has admitted it, but she claims her reasons for doing so are different now.
"I didn't appreciate working out when I was in my 20s. It was purely for work, and I hated it so much. It was just brutal. Now I enjoy it, because it's 'me' time and a stress-reliever. It's fun to mix it up. And I really like to work out with friends. They keep me accountable. I like how I feel after a workout. I'm a little squishy right now. It's fine. I don't care," says Alba in her interview with Natural Health.
It sounds like perhaps all these years under the microscope of Hollywood has left Alba with a little bit of a distorted body image because it is hard to imagine anyone calling her squishy, especially when she was just ripped apart for looking anorexic in a recent photo that she posted from a vacation in Thailand.
What are your thoughts on Alba's physique? Has she been caving to the pressure of Hollywood for so long that she does not even realize it anymore, or are food issues one of the many things the star likes to have control over? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below.
