is and why they made the character an actor. Because it really forced me to address my issues of self-judgment and lack of appreciation.” Moore continued, “I did torture myself. Crazy things like biking from Malibu all the way to Paramount, which is about 26 miles. All because I placed so much value on what my outsides looked like.”
Evolution in Self-Perception
Moore shared her journey towards a healthier relationship with her body and self-worth over time. She stated, “I think the biggest difference today is it’s so much more about my overall health and longevity and quality of life. I think I’ve evolved into greater gentility toward myself.
I was so harsh and had a much more antagonistic relationship with my body. And straight up I was really just punishing myself.” Moore concluded, “Now I have a much more kind of intuitive, relaxed relationship with my body. I trust when it tells me it needs something to eat, that it’s thirsty.
I listen to my body today, and I have a lot less fear. When I was younger, I felt like my body was betraying me. And so I just tried to control it.
And now I don’t operate from that place. It’s a much more aligned relationship.”
