Spelling's book is simply a treasure trove of revelations: She also admits that she lied about how she lost weight after giving birth to her fourth child, Finn Davey, in August 2012. Dressed in a purple bikini on the cover of Us Weekly, Spelling told the magazine that she lost 45 pounds by swimming. In reality, the actress was starving herself.
She writes that she couldn't exercise for months after giving birth for fear that the stitches from her caesarian section would burst open. Also, she just doesn't care for the gym. "I really don't exercise much, period. So I took off my weight the old-fashioned way. I like to call it the Just Keep Your F--king Mouth Shut and Eat Air diet. It's all the rage."
When it came time to pose for Us Weekly, Spelling's weight loss plan just wasn't going to jive with magazine readers. "My publicist had given me clear instructions about what to say about my weight loss," she explains. "Women didn’t want to know that I had lost weight through dieting, not exercising. I didn't want to be the a--hole who didn't work for it. So I said that I swam. It was sort of a bad choice. I can’t do much more than a doggy paddle."
