Actress Jessica Alba has admitted that she doesn’t find it easy to strike a balance between motherhood and her career. She says she makes sure her two daughters always come first. Mother to Honor, 4 and Haven, 1, the Hollywood star recently said, “I don’t think I balance it very well. I feel like I’m always compromising something, but my kids’ happiness is my topmost priority. Everything else is secondary, and I just try to do my best.” Alba added that having children also made her less critical of herself and even though she is fine with the fact that her body has changed a lot since she became a mother, she doesn’t let it affect her. “I don’t really care about my body image anymore because it just doesn’t matter now that I have children. Instead, I focus on my health, feeling strong, and making sure I’m up and running so I can spend that all-important time with the girls. 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, I feel completely comfortable in my skin and my idea of perfection has changed,” she added.
