Zoe Saldana’s Body Is Changing

Zoe Saldana poses nude for Women’s Health UK and tells them that her body is changing. On account of her being pregnant and aging.

“My body is less toned. I do look in the mirror and see things I don’t want. My first reaction is I breathe and I think, ‘I’m a woman, I’m 36, my body is changing.'”

I believe that’s usually when the uncontrollable sobbing starts. But after a while comes acceptance.

“I’m exactly where I want to be,” she said in her pre-pregnancy interview. “I do feel beautiful in a way that even when I was working out a whole lot, I sometimes didn’t. Because there have been times that I was really slender and I didn’t like that I sometimes looked a little too muscular and flat-chested –- you’ll never be completely happy, so at the end of the day it’s like, f–k it. Just be happy, regardless.”

I know what she means. Sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder, “Maybe I’d look better with a six pack instead of an eight pack,” and “Are these arms of mine too toned and muscular?” I try to take my mind off it by wrestling a bear and saving a family of five from a house fire.
