'There are days when nothing fits': Cindy Crawford opens up about her body image struggle... but admits that losing 5lbs would cost too much



She's widely considered as being one of the most beautiful women in the world.

But despite three decades at the top of her game in one of the toughest industries in the world, it seems that Cindy Crawford is still struggling with her body image.

Insisting that she has days when she can't fit into her clothes, the 47-year-old has admitted that she wants to 'come to terms' with her body by the time she's 50, as losing 5lbs would mean giving up the things that she loves.

Speaking to Net-a-Porter's The Edit , the mother-of-two claimed to feel just like everyone else, despite her supermodel status.

'I’m a normal woman, sometimes I feel pretty good and some days I’m like, oh my God, nothing fits,' said the star.

'My new resolution is that by the time I am 50, I want to have come to terms with my body,' she added, suggesting that she still struggles with her image.

But despite her hang-ups, Cindy admitted that she would rather not give up the food and drink that she loves in order to shift the pounds that she wants to lose.

'For me, being five pounds lighter, what it would cost me…I don’t want to be like, oh no, no salad dressing, no wine, no fun,' she said.

Posing in a series of sultry shots for the online style magazine, the former catwalk star proves that she hasn't lost any of her world-famous appeal.



Wearing a number black evening dresses by Balmain, Emilio Pucci, Donna Karan, Victoria Beckham, Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci, the model shows off her Amazonian frame.

Talking about her early days in the industry, Cindy said: 'I was willing to do things that weren’t necessarily the next thing you should do, like MTV or Playboy, things that even my agency wasn’t sure about me doing, I was like, why not? Let’s try it.”



'I think some of the young girls saw me as someone who used the business back, not just getting eaten up by it. It’s like women’s rights or everything else – you break the glass ceiling a little each time,' she added.

The self-deprecating star went on to say that she doesn't see herself as being inherently stylish like some other people in industry.

'I’m not like Kate Moss or someone who has incredible style,' she insists. 'A ‘supermodel day’ is heels, skinny jeans, those things…I wouldn’t show up for an autograph signing with a chignon because my fans want Cindy Crawford, they want the hair.'

'My goal in life is not to be happy all the time. It’s asking lot. How would you even know you were happy if you were always happy? I just want to be present so I can experience whatever emotion is there. Sometimes it’s joy, sometimes it’s not joy and I’m fine with that. I just want to be real,' she continued.

Back in 2009, Cindy told Mail on Sunday columnist Piers Morgan that she visited a London cosmetic surgeon for several years to have wrinkle-reducing Botox treatments. She's also been a recent and regular fixture on television endorsing the Meaningful Beauty anti-aging creams.
