'It's a problem. I think about it all the time. If only popcorn was what I wanted! I do love a good salt-and-vinegar chip, but I like to follow it with a brownie!'
The three-time Grammy winner said there's 'a fine line between having an examined life and being hypercritical of oneself.'
Jennifer said: 'Perfectionism is really a challenge for me, and it causes me to be super-critical of myself in so many ways: about body image constantly; about parenting; about being a mother. For me, that's still my most important job, ever, and I don't want to mess it up. And yet, there's no perfect way to do it!'

She added: 'There has to be balance in there somewhere. I haven't found it yet. When I do, I'll let you know.'
Nettles has a 14-month-old son Magnus with her entrepreneur husband Justin Miller, who's a former model.
The former Sugarland performer's first solo album That Girl - produced by Rick Rubin - debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 after dropping last month.

'It makes me feel vulnerable to put myself out there is a new way,' Jennifer said.
'You hope your fans have evolved with you and that the music will gain new fans too! You do your best, but you never know. The warm and positive response to this album has been simultaneously inspiring, motivating, and a relief. Now I want to get out there and give the fans a beautiful and intimate performance of these songs live on tour.'
The Me Without You hitmaker will be a guest on The Queen Latifah Show Tuesday at 2pm alongside Malin Akerman and chef Curtis Stone on CBS.
And Nettles will next take her That Girl Tour to Washington, DC's Lincoln Theatre on February 14.
