Petra Nemcova

Petra Nemcova can sympathize with the everyday women. She, too, struggles to fit into her size zero dress!

Model Petra Nemcova knows what it's like to struggle to be a size zero in order to stay on the runway - and says she went on brutal diets and even took laxatives to stay thin. "I went through so many diets in my life. I've been very, very skinny. I've been a size zero but I'm naturally more curvy," she tells PEOPLE. "I ate just vegetables, carrots, tomatoes. I went from a just-protein diet to just eating apples to eating no carbs. I took laxatives. I went through all of it just to be able to model."

Laxatives and starving yourself? What happen to the good ol' dieting days of cocaine-fueled nights and puke-filled afternoons? That's why I don't follow the scene anymore. It seems like today's models have forgotten all about traditional values. Sigh.
