I am 5 ft 6 in, and at my peak, my vital statistics were 37-22-35. I didn't even think about my weight - but now I work hard at keeping healthy. Fortunately, my husband Richie is as much of a fitness buff as I am.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
By and large, I've been healthy all my life.
My goal is just to get healthy as far as what my ideal weight has to be for my height.
In many ways, I feel I'm still as physically fit as I was 20 years ago because I've always been athletic.
I am not a slim person, so I regularly exercise to be healthy mentally and physically.
People say, 'You look to be in great shape for your age,' and I guess I am.
I got on the scale and I weighed around 203. I'm only 5'7. I was about to turn 30, and I wasn't active anymore. So I started working with a nutritionist and a trainer. I played basketball twice a week. And soon it all just became a habit for me. I became addicted to something good for a change.
I'm still very professional about my fitness. I stay in trim as I always did.
I eat healthy and don't even get on a scale. I have my favorite jeans that I wear, and if they are getting too snug, I watch what I eat for a week.
You can be in excellent physical shape, with low cholesterol, a healthy body weight and good overall physical fitness - but that doesn't necessarily mean you're healthy.
I started modeling at 28. I'm 5-feet-7 1/2, and I never went on a diet. I followed what my doctor told me: 'It's good to have a little bit of fat. Your weight is fine. Don't go any lighter.'
