Jessica Alba Jessica Alba Jessica Alba has revealed she was reduced to tears over her baby weight.

The 28-year-old said she had to go to extreme measures to get her figure back after the birth of baby Honor in June 2008.

Jess told Elle magazine: "I cried."

The actress posed for sexy calendar shots for Campari less than six months after giving birth, but described the work-outs leading up to the shoot as "horrible".

She admits: "I haven't worked out since."

So what's her secret? A zero-food diet? Personal trainer? Lipo?

Nope.

"I wore a girdle." she revealed. "Eight weeks after my girlfriend had her baby you could see her six-pack. She told me to put an elastic band around my waist – any kind of band or girdle works.

"I didn't recover as fast as she did. I don't have a six-pack – that's just not my body at all."

We feel your pain Jess.
