Petra Nemcova's battle with diets

spectrachic311 said: "It's strange...it seems like sometimes the thinner you get, the more pressure you feel to be even thinner. I feel bad for the fashion models, actresses, etc. who are judged almost entirely on their figures. I know I'll never look "waif-like" or twiggy just because of how I'm built, but the pressure to look like a model is still a nagging thing on my mind. I've been trying to tell myself to grow up about it, especially since I'll be trying to conceive fairly soon. I need to focus on being healthy and strong so I can be a good mom, not focus on being a twig so I can have people look at me and think "wow, she's thin". There's much more to life than just being thin :)"

Now looking back I want that body sooo so much again. When I get it back (and I will get it back) I hope that I don't take it for granted again."
