Natasha Henstridge recently admitted succumbing to extreme measures in order lose weight.

The habits began when filming Species and continued throughout her 20s.

"I've done some things that probably weren't the smartest things in the world," the former model said of taking pills, undergoing strict diets and acupuncture for the pursuit of becoming thinner.

The mother of two has seen what damage unhealthy behavior can do. Now that she has come off of the diets, Henstridge realized, "when you decide to go clean, things are changing in your body because you done a bit of damage. My body has definitely gone through a change since coming off all the crazy yo-yo stuff."

Natasha still looks fab!

We're glad she decided to go the healthy route!
