Jessica Simpson is getting real about her body image struggles.
, the 39-year-old singer recalls a particular low point in her decades-long struggle with body image. This came in 2015 after she had given birth to two of her three children -- Maxwell, 7, and Ace, 6 -- with her husband, Eric Johnson. The couple has since welcomed a daughter, 10-month-old Birdie.
Despite her want for a tummy tuck, that plan was initially shot down by her doctor, who was concerned over her liver levels. Simpson's levels were high at the time due to"I told Eric. We were in a sort of shared spiral, both of us in denial about how much we were drinking," she writes of telling her husband of the doctor's comment. "I’m sure we were wasted when we talked about it.
"The surgery took two hours longer than planned… It did not go well," she continues. "I got an infection -- colitis -- and was vomiting so much I thought I was going to bust my sutures. My mom and Eric were so worried. They had to rush me to Cedars, and I secretly stayed there for nine days. Doctors talked seriously about me needing a blood transfusion."
She later started the Atkins diet."Off the diet, I obsessed over how I looked 24/7; on the diet, I was also hyper focused on food. It made me nervous," she writes. "My anxiety had something to hold on to, and instead of examining my emotions, I could just block them out by focusing on carb counts and waist sizes. If I focused on controlling my outward appearance, I could avoid thinking about my emotions and fears.
