"The things I was watching from 2016, 2017, 2018 I can’t believe I was that girl. That breaks my heart. I’m grateful to be on the other side, but when I watched, for example, the first part of the film where I discuss my body..." she said.Getting emotional, she told the interviewer that she was "completely upset with myself" revisiting how she treated and thought about her body.
"I couldn’t believe the things I was aspiring to be. Which really aren’t possible unless you have a lot of money and you’re willing to spend it to do that to yourself," she said. "It really broke my heart. That’s not the feeling I want to give anyone. I hope I don’t. So watching it was a bit shocking and upsetting."Gomez has reflected on the insecurity that she felt at the time, sharing in a video she did in 2021 with Vogue that it took time to come to terms with how her body had evolved as she matured. She even recalled the 2015 Met Gala to be a memorable moment in that process.
"I fluctuate a lot with my weight and I remember this night specifically, I didn’t feel good about my body. So what was really amazing was that I actually got a chance to work on the dress that fit my body," she said in the video. "I had such a beautiful time shaping this dress. I think that we came together and built something really beautiful and that fit me really well. That was one of the moments where I was like, I don’t have to be that 19-year-old body shape anymore because I’m not."
She's also gone on to speak more publicly and positively about her body in the face of body shaming that she's experienced throughout her career. In June she told Glamour UK, "It’s hard to feel comfortable when you feel like everyone is watching, judging, and commenting on the way you look. Self-confidence is still something I work on daily, but when I stopped trying to conform to society’s unrealistic standards of beauty, my perspective entirely shifted."
