Calista Flockhart Has Never Dieted in Her Life

Calista Flockhart says that the stress and success of her prior show Ally McBeal was responsible for much-criticized ultra-thin appearance.

She says, "I have honestly never dieted in my life. My parents and friends tell me that I have always looked the same since high school. But during (Ally McBeal), when we were filming and working so hard, I became stressed and did not eat as much as I should.

"I think, on a frame like mine, if I lose a few pounds, it makes a big difference. There was no anorexia or bulimia or any other such thing. I hated every bit of attention on my weight and size. Even now, I can't put into words what exactly happened."
