Erin Heatherton Opens A Pilates Studio And Talks About The "Constant Pressure To Stay Very Thin" As A Model
Victoria's Secret models have opened up in the past about feeling enormous pressure to keep a certain figure when they're working. Erin Heatherton hasn't shied away from sharing details about her intense diet regimen. Now she's shifting her focus to sustainable fitness and healthy living.
Last year, Erin talked about the extreme measures she used to stay thin when she was walking the runway as a Victoria's Secret Angel. She said "things started to go south for me" when she turned 25 years old, and she realized it was more difficult to maintain her figure compared to when she was 18. She opted in for a diet pill called phentermine, which is an appetite suppressant that was later described to her as "bathwater meth." She even began injecting herself with HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), a hormone that is used in weight-loss products.
