Jessica Simpson┬аknows that health is about feeling good, and not a number on the scale. The 40-year-old mother of three opens up to┬аHoda Kotb on the тАЬTodayтАЭ┬аshow about her health journey.

In a sneak peek for ThursdayтАЩs show, Simpson shares that she no longer checks her weight.┬атАЬYou tossed that scale out, you threw it away,тАЭ Kotb says.

тАЬI threw it out,тАЭ Simpson confirms.

The fashion designer goes on to explain her approach to wellness, saying, тАЬI have no idea how much I weigh. I just want to be able to feel good and zip my pants up. If I donтАЩt, I have another size. I have every size.тАЭ

Though sheтАЩs been open about weight loss in the past, Simpson is determined to focus on her health rather than a number.

тАЬIтАЩve really tried my hardest to not let that define me,тАЭ she adds.

Simpson previously opened up to ETтАЩs Rachel Smith┬аabout ditching the scale back in March.

тАЬWe have a goal, right?┬аBut I say throw out the scale,тАЭ she shared at the time. тАЬI would use it like a measuring tape because the scale can literally┬аmess our entire day upтАж I had [husband] Eric [Johnson] walk it to the trash can.тАЭ

Simpson found the act to be freeing, adding, тАЬI have to rid myself of measuring up to┬аwhat weight I should be because IтАЩve had so many people tell me what weight I need to be and I think itтАЩs really about just how you feel.тАЭ

Earlier this month, JessicaтАЩs mom, Tina Simpson, opened up to тАЬTodayтАЭs Sheinelle Jones about watching her daughter struggle with the attention she received for her weight.

тАЬI have to be honest: To me the hardest thing with Jessica has been the weight. Because the way people judge her, itтАЩs unbelievable,тАЭ Tina┬аshared at the time. тАЬBody shaming is a terrible thing, and no girl should have to go through that тАФ or guy. Period.тАЭ

Simpson isnтАЩt done opening up! In addition to the release of her memoir last year, she has released an essay,┬аTake the Lead: An Essay, on Amazon that is тАЬabout motherhood, self-acceptance, and overcoming the fears that hold you back.тАЭ
