Jessica Simpson wants to change the narrative around body image, weight, and physical appearances for her kid's sake.
Simpson shared that when talking about food and weight around her children, she treads lightly.
“Everyone talks about ‘Oooh, I shouldn't eat this many calories. My kids are like, 'What are calories?' I try to not complain about myself in front of them, I try to not diet, I try to not do any of that stuff,” said Simpson.Simpson also admitted that while her kids may not know what calories in food are, they do see how much of a microscope their mom has been under for years regarding her appearance and weight. She says that her kids don’t understand the discourse.
She spoke about her 11-year-old daughter, Maxwell, who already notices a difference in herself and her classmates. “You don't dress for anybody else, you don't try to look like anybody else. Maxwell's the tallest in her grade, and she's like 'Should I be insecure?' I said, 'the fact that you're asking me if you should be insecure means absolutely not," added Simpson.
