British actress and one of at home's all time favourite ladies, Kate Winslet, has revealed that she refuses to diet, and wants young girls to realise it is possible to have a healthy shape without starving themselves...
Kate Winslet, 36, who previously said that she is against cosmetic surgery, has now insisted that she is not interested in dieting and would rather encourage young girls to have a healthy body image.
Speaking to Reveal magazine, the mother-of-two said: "I am not a twig - and refuse to be a twig. I would like young girls who are screwed up about their bodies to think that it's possible to have a healthy shape. Everyone gets a bit screwed up about themselves, physically, when you're growing up.
"I don't do crash diets or eat fish rather than meat and salads until they come out of my ears."
Instead of dieting, Kate said she prefers exercising to keep herself fit and healthy.
"I do exercise, with plenty of swimming, but never feel that I have the figure of a Hollywood actress," she explained.
The Contagion star also admitted she was a "fat" child. She said: "I was such a fat kid and reached 182lbs at one point. My sisters Anna and Beth would swap clothes but I couldn't. I am the smallest at 5ft 6in and I've got my mum's big feet and my dad's round face."
