Match the sad body quote with the star!!

The following stars were recently quoted as saying the following extremely depressing body image- and diet-related tidbits: Marcia Cross, Gwen Stefani, Sara Ramirez, Charlize Theron, Elizabeth Hurley, Liv Tyler, Anne Hathaway. Can youmatch them up?

A: "I've been on a diet, ever since I was in the sixth grade. It's an ongoing battle, and it's a nightmare."

B: "I basically starved myself (when trying to break into television), living on a stick of celery, some peanut butter and two protein shakes a day, working out like a fiend. Sure enough, I lost 25 pounds and booked a TV pilot--scary, because it was almost like a reward for treating myself in an unhealthy way."

C: "I have often felt there was a lot of pressure on me to look good...It's like they pay me not to eat. It's a living hell."

D: "I have to squeeze myself into quite a few bikinis. It's definitely part of my job...not to be too fat."

E: "I diet every day of my life. It's part of my discipline. Kim Cattrall I basically stuck with fruit, vegetables and fish [to slim down for (Movie X.)] I wouldn't recommend that. (Actress X) and I would clutch at each other and cry because we were so hungry.

F: "I've been working out since I was 14, and (being pregnant) was the first time in my life that I wasn't on a diet and didn't have that kind of pressure. I had time to not be obsess about myself and what I was eating, and enjoy my family."

G: "Getting pregnant doesn't excite me, but having kids does...I don't really want to look like a whale, you know?"

So sad. Makes me happy that I live in a house without mirror. These days I feel strong and that feels great! I have no idea how the backs of my legs look, but lady, these legs can still run and jump.

I read that comment by Charlize Theron the other day, and i just cringed. I used to LOVE acting, and being onstage. Then I moved to Los Angeles, and it sucked the joy of performing right out of me, because no one gave a d***n about my ability, they just wanted to see what I looked like in my underwear. (And even when i was 25 pounds lighter, it still wasn't good enough,lol!) Then, during my 2 pregnancies, everyone thought I was nuts because I was "ruining" my figure and my career! Even though we've moved out of L.A., I haven't acted, or even auditioned, in nearly 5 years, and I'm not sure I ever will again. But I have two incredible kids, and I wouldn't trade them for anything, not even a perfect body,lol!

I feel really sorry for these women - sadly it is part of the job nowadays in Hollywood to have the perfect body. When you read these articles and realise that they spend 4 hours in the gym and eat like 800 calories a day you kinda see why you can never look like them!!

The worst comment for me was from Marcia Cross. Her diet is a living hell! Oh dear!
