They’re an asset, and Eric [Johnson, her husband] loves them still.” Simpson, has always been open about her weight fluctuations as a former spokesperson for Weight Watchers, says she still has trouble feeling confident in her body. “I’m hard on myself – I believe everything’s a work in progress,” she says. “But that’s okay. I do love my legs, but my favorite physical attribute is my nose, because it’s not perfect.” But as her workouts have changed since motherhood – from “dancing on tables at clubs” to chasing kids, along with regular treadmill and strength training sessions – she has a new appreciation for her body. “Recently, since I’ve worked out so hard, I’m also loving my stomach – knowing I grew babies in it, and then having to go through a transformation and just owning it.” RELATED VIDEO: How to Get Jessica Simpson’s Sexy Legs! Plus, being a mom to daughter Maxwell, 4, and son Ace, 3, made Simpson see herself differently – especially when it comes to the over filtered social media world. “It’s about loving who you are and what you can create and who you can be,” she says. “If I take a selfie and I filter it and I look great, that’s not real. What’s real is having a daughter look up to you.”
