Supermodel Helena Christensen has insisted she would rather die than go on a diet. Despite being under pressure to stay slim for her career, the 37-year-old beauty insists she eats what she likes and would never follow any eating fads. She said: “As for dieting, I just could not go there because I’m obsessed with food. I would rather die than do that. “I have so much respect for people who have to diet and have to think of their weight. That must be the hardest thing – next to childbirth.” The mum-of-one, who now only models part-time, also revealed that she never worried about getting fat when she was a full-time catwalk queen. She told Britain’s Grazia magazine: “Strangely enough, I didn’t worry at all about my body when I worked as a model full-time. “It was only after I started winding down on modelling that I thought about training, just so I don’t end up completely hunched over like an old woman.”
