Former playmate Jenny McCarthy has said she understands the misery of being overweight.
The hottie, who was present at Oxygen TV and Ubisoft's launch of "Your Shape" at West Hollywood's Hyde Lounge, said she worked hard to reduce weight after giving birth to her son.
"I was 211 pounds when I delivered my son, so I know what it is like to be obese and fat and miserable," Fox News quoted her as saying.
She added: "I'm 5'6 so it was a tough thing to carry around; losing it is something I'm very proud of.
"It took me a good year to fit back into my jeans, but it's all diet and exercise. There is really no magic pill; they are the two things you absolutely have to do to maintain good shape.
"In my 20's I didn't really have to worry as much but now I'm past 35 I notice that I have to workout. It's a mandatory thing.
"I eat a lot of soups and salads; I puree a lot of vegetables because there is still protein in vegetables. I love spinach salads with nuts so it's mainly vegetables and when I PMS I notice I need extra protein so I eat fish. Exercise is bikram yoga and treadmill running like 'Hamster'."
McCarthy had enlarged her breast for Playboy earlier, but has reduced it now.
She said: "Women have to get their 'tires rotated' so to speak every ten years so I never had them fully removed, but I had them taken out and replaced only because I couldn't fit into normal dress sizes.
"I had to buy dresses in a bigger size and have them taken in so I just decided to get them taken down a bit. The boobs got a little droopier because of it, so there is a yin and yang to everything. But I feel better in my clothes."
