I am happier now: Melissa McCarthy

Actress Melissa McCarthy says she is more content now than when she was younger and slimmer.

The actress insist being thinner didn't make her happier, reported Showbizspy.

"I've been every size in the world. Parts of my twenties, I was in great shape, but I didn't appreciate it. If I was a 6 or an 8, I thought, why aren't I a 2 or a 4?," she said.

McCarthy, who raises Vivian, 6, and 3-year-old Georgette with husband Ben Falcone, admits that she was fixated on her appearance during early adulthood, but changed her priorities after becoming a mom.

"I bought into it - I should be taller, thinner, have better hair. But I think that's part of being young. Now, especially with kids, you lose any sense of time or energy to worry about all the little stuff.
