Denise Richards says that she regrets enchancing her breasts when she was a teenager .
In a new iVillage blog entry about the healthy body image she tries to project for her daughters , the actress writes , "At 19 when I first got my breasts done , I wish that I was confident enough with my body to not have had surgery ."
On the subject of plastic surgery , Richards believes , "I honestly feel that it's whatever makes a person feel good about themselves ," adding that she has no plans to have any additional work done .
Richards has two daughters , Sam and Lola , with ex-husband Charlie Sheen .
Earlier this year , Richards adopted a baby girl named Eloise .
Richards acknowledges that the realities of show business often seem at odds with her parenting instincts.
"I often times feel like a hypocrite with my daughters when trying to teach them to have a healthy view on beauty and body image ," she explains . "I'm in a business where looks and weight do matter."
But , Richards adds , "When I exercise I never say I work out to stay thin ... I always use the words healthy and strong . I don't obsess about wearing make-up when I leave the house or looking a certain way.
Richards tries not to let her professional commitments affect how her kids see themselves .
"My girls see me at work or getting ready for photo shoots and I'm sure at times it can be a confusing message to them when I'm being primped , dressed and fussed over ," she says . "I always explain it's mommy's job.
Just a thought : Well Denise at least you are on the right tract with your girls ... keep up the good work .
