"We have one life. I don't want to spend my time thinking about the size of my arse. I want to be as healthy as I can be, and I want to have as much fun as I can have. I want to be around for my children. That's it. Those are the priorities. Not getting a flat stomach." (Via Time Out London)

Jessica Alba
"Becoming a mom has definitely made me feel more confident and secure than I ever did in my 20s. Even though I can't ever get down to my pre-baby weight before having Honor, my jeans don't zip up the same way, and things just hang differently (all moms know how that goes!), I feel completely comfortable in my skin and my idea of perfection has changed."

Liv Tyler
"I've been a model and actress since I was 14, so I've been on a diet my whole life. But once I gave birth, I didn't want to think about myself or feel insecure about my career; I wanted to think about my child. So I stopped worrying about diets." (Via Glamour)

But I also love food and I love life: Some days having that extra bowl of pasta and a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup means more to me than being thin." (Via Ladies Home Journal)
