Actress Jennifer Garner, who's expecting her third child, wishes she could be one of those skinny-minnie pregnant women but can't because she gives in to her cravings.
“I wish I was one of those cute pregnant girls who wear skinny jeans throughout their pregnancies, but I just gain weight,” Garner says in the January 2012 issue of InStyle.
"I’m trying really hard to be mindful (of my diet), but when I’m making the kids mac and cheese, I want it badly.”
Pregnancy Junk-Food Cravings & Exhaustion
The athletic 5'9" Jennifer, who was in top shape to play a CIA agent in Alias (2001-2006) and action hero Elektra (2005), is experiencing intense junk-food cravings, nausea and exhaustion while pregnant with her third child.
"My kids had never seen Doritos before," says Garner, 39. "They would say, 'Mom, where did you get that orange chip? I really want that.' "
Jennifer's happy marriage to actor Ben Affleck (with whom she has two daughters, Seraphina, 3, and Violet, 6) has quelled her intense workaholism.
"I would do anything for that man [husband Ben], because I know it's not taken for granted," she says.
"I'm not as myopic as I used to be. During those Alias years I worked 362 days a year. It was great, but I wouldn't trade my life now for anything."
