"It went from that to basically, I wouldn't say ‘starving myself,’ but pretty much," she said. "So it was such a drastic - I had a lot of support from my mom and my dad, but it was hard."

"I think you don't know what you know until you know," she said. "I was very lucky to get too deep. I mean I got pretty thin because of the pressure - the pressure of being sent back home … you become very disciplined."

Sims previously told Fox News Digital that decided to take a break from Hollywood when her kids were still young so she could focus more on her family.
"You know, I started older," Sims explained. "I had my first baby when I was 39… I’ve done a lot in a very short amount of time. It’s like a record. Three kids in five years. But I think because I was older and I met my Prince Charming a little bit later in life that I definitely had to buckle down… We weren’t able to have a real family if I didn’t take a little bit of a step back in my career."
