To downsize or not. Jessica Simpson revealed in the September 2016 issue of Women’s Health magazine that she once considered getting a breast reduction, but ultimately decided against going under the knife.

“My boobs just have their own life, they have a way of making themselves present,” the “A Public Affair” singer, 36, told the women’s publication in her new cover story. “I thought I was going to get a breast reduction.”

However, Simpson later concluded that she was happy with her curvy figure. “After having kids, I look at myself, and I’m like, ‘You know what, my boobs are actually really big, but I like how they are,’” she explained. “They’re an asset, and [my husband] Eric [Johnson] loves them still.”

The Jessica Simpson Collection fashion designer looks incredible on the September 2016 cover of Women’s Health in a cleavage-bearing black top and black shorts — but her toned figure doesn’t come easy.

“I give myself so many excuses not to get on the treadmill, to not do that lunge,” the mom of daughter Maxwell, 4, and son Ace, 3, told the lifestyle mag. “Workouts are an emotional experience. I exercise to clear my head. It makes me stronger on every level.”

Just like Us, Simpson often finds herself succumbing to guilty-pleasure snacks. “Grilled cheese is amazing, a peanut butter and jelly is so good, but corn dogs are awesome,” she explained of the foods she picks off her children’s dinner plates.

The “With You” singer added, “I’m hard on myself. I believe everything is a work in progress. But that’s OK. I do love my legs, but my favorite attribute is my nose, because it’s not perfect. But recently, since I’ve worked out so hard, I’m also loving my stomach — knowing I grew babies in it, and then having to go through a transformation and just owning it.”
