Jessica Alba opened up about her complicated relationship with her body, men and eating during a roundtable conversation at the In Goop Health conference in Los Angeles over the weekend.

I was meant to feel ashamed if I tempted men, the actress said during a talk with Gwyneth Paltrow and fellow actresses Taraji P. Henson, Olivia Wilde and Busy Philipps, according to The Hollywood Reporter . She said that because she had a booty and was voluptuous, her family forbade her from wearing certain items of clothing.

Then I stopped eating a lot when I became an actress. I made myself look more like a boy so I wouldnt get as much attention, the 38-year-old added.
