Catherine Zeta-Jones was "sensible" with weight loss

07/27/2007 at 10:10 AM ET

Douglas_7_cbb_3Catherine Zeta-Jones has always been known for her curvaceous figure,which she has maintained after having two kids with Michael Douglas,son Dylan, 6, and daughter Carys, 4. The No Reservations star tellsPeople the secret is to be sensible.

It takes a lot of time. These days it’s like a race to thefinish line: Who can look back in shape the quickest after having kids.I was really quite sensible with it. I do a lot of swimming and I thinkI’m going to start up with tap dancing lessons when the kids go back toschool. And I eat sensibly.

One thing she doesn’t eat is peanut butter, which is one of her kids’ favorite foods.

Inever had it growing up, and I don’t like the consistency. I’ve triedchunky and smooth. My husband and kids love it and I’m, like, about tolose it or throw up. On the other side of the Atlantic we have Marmite.I love it.

I was on bedrest with my own babies after Dylan was born, and Zeta-Jones was on the cover of one of those mindless magazines I read. She talked then about stopping breastfeeding after two months to resume her diet/workout regime. She also sued either Hello! or OK! (whichever one did NOT have the official rights) for publishing her wedding photos, and during the trial, she complained that the unofficial snaps had hurt her professional status because the photo of Michael feeding her their wedding cake undermined her attempts to portray herself as svelte after pregnancy. Zeta-Jones explicitly said at the time that there was pressure on actresses after pregnancy to show that they had lost the baby weight as quickly as possible.

I detect a strong whiff of self-contradiction here, in other words.

Jody you are right she did stop breastfeeding at 2 months, to get herself back in shape and on a diet, I defintley read that too.

Mom Said It

"I had to make a decision that I could sleep with every night. I did feel responsible for the young girls who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn't trying to glamorize teen pregnancy."
