"It took a long time for Sofia Vergara to feel comfortable with her 34 DD cup size.\r\n&amp;quot;When I moved to America, I was more voluptuous, and I felt a little different,&amp;quot; the Modern Family star tells the December issue of Health (on sale November 18). &amp;quot;My publicist [at the time] told me, &amp;apos;I think you should just reduce your boobs because nobody&amp;apos;s going to take you seriously here.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nVergara, 39, says her mother &amp;quot;almost had a heart attack&amp;quot; when she considered getting a breast reduction.\r\n&amp;quot;She was like, &amp;apos;God is going to punish you! You can&amp;apos;t cut your boobs!&amp;apos;&amp;quot; Vergara recalls. &amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t regret not doing it, because now it&amp;apos;s become a big part of [my character on Modern Family].&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nStill, the Colombian actress admits her body insecurities began long before she relocated to Hollywood.\r\n&amp;quot;Not everybody&amp;apos;s confident their whole life. For a long time, I thought that my boobs were too big. I was, like, 14 years old, and I already had these huge boobs. I was very skinny also,&amp;quot; she explains. &amp;quot;And now that I&amp;apos;m almost 40, we always have our insecurities as women. We&amp;apos;re never happy!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nVergara -- who&amp;apos;s been dating Florida politician Nick Loeb for nearly two years -- says she eventually came to appreciate her God-given body.\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m a Latin woman: I&amp;apos;m voluptuous, I&amp;apos;m loud, I&amp;apos;m exactly what a Latin woman is,&amp;quot; she tells Health. &amp;quot;I prefer to be called that than, &amp;apos;You&amp;apos;re boring; you have a flat ass!&amp;apos;&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
