Liv Tyler Decided to Stop Worrying About Dieting

Liv Tyler decided to stop worrying about her weight following the birth of her son, Milo.

"I've been a model and actress since I was 14, so I've been on a diet my whole life," Liv says in the March issue of Glamour.

"But once I gave birth, I didn't want to think about myself or feel insecure about my career; I wanted to think about my child. So I stopped worrying about diets."

Still the curvy mom says she recently lost 10 pounds without even trying while filming the thriller The Strangers in South Carolina.

"I've been eating like a pig. I think it's because I hired this chef on the set of Strangers to cook for me, and I ate a lot of vegetables and protein. Filming was also incredibly intense: We were supposed to be out of breath in every scene, so I would run around the stage to achieve that. I just went to Marc Jacobs and I bought a red dress in a size 4. I've never been a size 4 in my entire life!"

She joins Kate Winslet in her criticism of the ultra thin actresses and models in the spotlight right now. "I definitely think the girls look too skinny now," she says. "I'm friends with Helena Christensen and Linda Evangelista, and I remember Linda telling me that when she was a model [in the '90s], a sample size was a 6 or an 8. Now a sample dress size is a 0 or a 2. That's pretty alarming. There's a lot of pressure on [the models]. It's not healthy. I can't even imagine what that's like."

She says that the self imposed two-year hiatus she took from filming to care for Milo was a transformational time. "Getting pregnant and caring for a baby gave me a confidence I'd never had before. I really felt I'd done something well, and I can't say that about anything else in my life."
