Jessica Simpson knows a thing or two about what it takes to get her pre-baby body back. As the most recent spokeslady for Weight Watchers (joining the ranks of Mariah Carey and Jennifer Hudson), Simpson opens up about about her struggles in a new ad. But what is surprising about this new commercial is that it doesn’t show any full-length shots of Simpson’s body. Instead, it focuses strictly on Simpson’s beautiful face.
“There is a lot of pressure to lose weight, but I’m not a supermodel,” Simpson states in the video. “I’m just Jessica, trying to eat real food in the real world, and I really just want to be healthy for my daughter.”
Simpson — who weighed in at 170 pounds when she shot her naked, pregnant Elle cover in April — told Katie Couric (on Katie, according to CBS News) Monday that she is attempting to do 14,000 steps a day and is trying to stay focused on a diet. “It’s working, and it feels amazing,” Simpson says in her ad. “Really I just want to be a better version of myself.”
Simpson has faced much scrutiny over the years about her fluctuating weight, and the fact that she doesn’t show her full, post-baby body in this video probably won’t help her any. Check out the video below, and tell us what you think. Should the commercial have shown Simpson’s full body?
