During the 1990s,
Kate Moss weighed an estimated 100 pounds,
prompting NYC graffiti-ists to scrawl "Feed me" across her midriff
on Calvin Klein ads at bus stops.
Now, the 5' 7" model, 34, admits she was too skinny.
"I was never anorexic, so I was never that skinny," she tells
September's
Interview. "I was never bony-bony. But I
remember thinking, 'I don't want to be this skinny.'"
Look back at photos of scary skinny stars.
She says when she was "doing shows and flying economy ... nobody
ever fed me. Or I'd be staying in hotels so cheap that by the time
I'd get in, there wasn't any room service.
"I didn't eat for a long time. Not on purpose," she admits. "You'd
be on shoots with bad food or get on a plane, and the food would be
so disgusting you couldn't eat it.
"You go to a show, and there's no food at all, so if you're doing
shows back to back, you can forget eating," Moss adds. "I remember
standing up in the bath one day, and there was a mirror in front of
me, and I was so thin! I
hated it. I never liked being that skinny."

She also sounded off against breast implants, calling them
"awful."
"So many of my friends have had them, and they've gone wrong," Moss
says, adding that one of her pals "had one that sort of moved up to
her shoulder."
Still, she says, "if I got saggy, like the sacks some women have
after they have children, I'd have them done. I'm not against
them...."
Over the years, Moss says she has come to accept her body. But it
took her some time.
When she was 15, photographer Corrine Day used to make her pose
topless as training.
"I'd cry," Moss says. "After five years, you get used to it and
you're not self-conscious anymore.
"Bowlegs. Crooked teeth. That is what makes you different from
everyone else," she adds. "But when I was 15, I was like, 'Oh no, I
don't want to be different ... I want to look like Cindy
Crawford!'"
