In the recent issue of Hello! magazine Geri Halliwell is the epitome of spectacular. The photos show the flawless Spice Girl lounging on the beach in a white string bikini and playing with her two-year-old daughter Bluebell. She also discusses her diet and exercise plan.
“I walk and I do yoga, but not the strenuous, hardcore Ashtanga style. Often, I just breathe and sit in one position for ages. It’s for relaxation. The most vigorous exercise I do is running around after Bluebell!”
“I don’t have a strict diet anymore. I eat cake, crisps, sugar-free chocolate and chips if I want to. I can’t be bothered to follow a grueling food plan. I’m a petite person and if I eat relatively healthily I’ll stay that way. It’s simple really. When I feel under pressure, I do eat cake but I don’t punish myself for that like I used to. I just eat more healthily the next day.”
Halliwell also talks in the article about her past issues with bulimia and says she has trouble with always striving for perfection. She said, “At the moment, I'm a bit curvier, having done the tour, so it was a big mental step forward for me to show my natural self, rather than my worked-out, honed self.”
These photos look far from anything that resembles curvier. If they were photoshopped to go along with this type of interview then that would certainly be destructive to many girls self image. Plus I have never known a toddler that can briskly run their parents into breaking a real sweat. If this were so, we would likely see more children being pushed into a career such as a personal trainer to the stars at a very young age.
