Kate Upton would never "starve" herself to be thin

The Sports Illustrated model wants to be a role model and although there is "pressure" for women to look a certain way she insists she wants to enjoy herself life and indulge in food without being concerned about her figure.

She told the Daily Star newspaper: "For girls there's always pressure.

"Even if I was in college, or if I was doing a different job.

"So, for me to do that in the public eye is definitely a lot, but I have to have the right outlook on it.

"I'm not going to starve just to be thin.

"I want to enjoy life and I can't if I'm not eating."

The busty blonde - who is set to star alongside screen beauties Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann in 'The Other Women' - is thrilled she's helping women evaluate their lives in a "healthy way".

She added: "It's really motivating to know I'm helping people look at their life in a healthy way.”
