That’s the headline for the story that accompanies the photo of Heidi Klum on the cover of Marie Claire magazine this month. In it, she talks about going against the supermodel norm with curves and kids.

On realistically losing baby weight: “I always think, Look at how people were before they were pregnant. If you were a toned, healthy, energetic person, most likely you will be like that again. A lot of people come to me, and they’re like, ‘Will I look like you after I have a baby?’ And I say, ‘Well, how were you before?’ You can’t kid yourself.”

On being advised not to start a family early: “Some people are afraid, especially in this industry, that if you are out of it, it’ll be hard to get back in it. I didn’t care. I thought, It’s my life, not yours. I was ready to take the chance and not get back into it if they decided they didn’t want me anymore.”
