Jessica Alba works hard to combine motherhood and career

Jessica Alba has revealed that she finds it difficult to juggle between motherhood and her profession.

The 31-year-old American actress confessed that she frequently feels that she has failed to strike a balance between her personal and professional commitments but she always gives first priority to her children - Honor, four and 13-month-old Haven.

"I don't think I balance it very well," Contactmusic quoted Alba as telling Celebuzz.

"I feel like I'm always compromising something, but my kids happiness [is] my priority. Everything else is secondary, and I just try to do my best," she added.

The mother of two has admitted that her body has changed a lot since the time she became a mother, but she doesn't care because her priorities have changed and having children has made her less critical of herself.

"I don't really care about my body image anymore because it just doesn't matter now that I have children. Instead, I focus on my health, feeling strong, and making sure I'm up and running so I can spend that all-important time with the girls," the lead actress of 'Dark Angel' said.

"Becoming a mom has definitely made me feel more confident and secure than I ever did in my 20s. Even though I can't ever get down to my pre-baby weight before having Honor, my jeans don't zip up the same way, and things just hang differently, I feel completely comfortable in my skin and my idea of perfection has changed," she added.
