Getting candid. Jessica Simpson has learned to love and embrace her body at any size through the years — but she’s still proud of how far she has come.“I don’t really look at it as, like, a weight loss journey.

I think it’s a journey of empowerment and self-love and acceptance,” Simpson, 41, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, April 14, while discussing her partnership with Flonase allergy relief medication. “It’s one of those things [where] it’s, like, we all want what we can’t have.

We all want the body type that we aren’t [and] that we can’t change. So it’s about accepting and loving ourselves for who we are.”The “Take My Breath Away” songstress added: “For me, I have done that at every size [and] I just feel every woman should be celebrated.”Simpson — who has frequently opened up about her wellness journey through the years — showed off her progress earlier this month when she shared a bikini selfie while on vacation with her family. (The Texas native shares children Maxwell, 9, Ace, 8, and Birdie, 3, with husband Eric Johnson.)“I had no idea I was gonna put on a bikini.

So, that was just, like, in the moment. I brought a couple of bikinis, but I had one-pieces [too]. That was my trip,” Simpson recalled on Thursday of the now-viral social media snaps. “I put on the bikini [and] I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I can wear a bikini.
