Mandy Moore recently sat down with People to discuss how OK she is with her body. She noted that she normally doesn’t deprive herself of things, especially peanut butter.
“I appreciate when there are other women out there who are beautiful and aren’t, you know, a pound,” she says. “I feel lucky that I don’t feel pressure … to have my whole life be controlled by whether I fit into a certain size.”
“If I really want something, I don’t feel like it’s worth it to deprive myself,” says Moore, whose weaknesses include french fries, cookies, and pretty much anything containing peanut butter. “I’ve never said, ‘I want to look like this’ or ‘I want to look like that’ or ‘I’m not good enough.’ … To me it’s about feeling good, feeling healthy.”
“[As a star] you have professionals who make you look a certain way … I can’t roll out of bed and look that way,” says Moore. “I’m very comfortable with the way that I look, but it’s not fair for women to use someone or something as a bar. It’s not reality, for anyone. I am happy to be myself and represent something different for women.”
