Kate Upton's weight controversy has been the focal point of several publications since the 22-year-old started modeling. In a recent interview with Huffington Post, Justin Verlander's girlfriend talked about her secret to battling insecurities.

"I never really compared myself to other people, and I think that's maybe where insecurities are drawn from, comparing your body to other people's bodies," said the Sports Illustrated model whose figure was once criticized by Skinny Gossip for being "lardy and lazy."

Kate Upton's weight controversy has taught the 'Tower Heist' actress to be strong and confident:

"Instead of looking at someone and envying part of their body or their face, look at how they hold themselves. Appreciate their confidence."

In an interview with The Sun last April, the blonde beauty similarly addressed body issues. She allegedly confessed her desire for smaller "assets" as they would give her more clothing choices: "I wish I had smaller boobs every day of my life as I would love to wear spaghetti tops braless or go for the smallest bikini designs."

Nonetheless, in an interview with Australian radio station 2DayFM, she emphasized her contentment with her body: "I feel like all women feel like they don't have life perfect. Sometimes they don't feel their best, but I love my body. I always feel incredibly grateful for what I have."

She likewise wrote a tweet expressing her stand on Kate Upton's weight controversy: "I have moments of insecurity, but I love and am proud of my body -- every part of it -- and wouldn't change a thing."

Apart from appearing on the June issue of the British Vogue, Justin Verlander's girlfriend similarly flaunted her curves on the romantic comedy film 'The Other Woman' which also starred Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann. She is also the newly hailed endorser of clothing line Express.
