MediaTakeOut.com just learned that Iman's first daughter Zulekha is speaking out about her childhood. And she paints a portrait of a young girl with a very healthy appetite.

Zulekha, whose father is former NBA ballplayer Spencer Haywood, is 31 years old. And here's how our pals over at the Daily Mail are reporting things:

Haywood said she once weighed more than 23 stone (322 pounds) but thanks to the surgery is down to 12 stone (168 pounds).

'I have more or less been on a diet since I was eight years old. None of them worked,' she told Glamour magazine in the U.S..

'An overweight kid and already dining for sport, my first was the "basta" diet. At home, my mother, Iman, a beauty icon and devotee of clean eating, would whisper "basta" ("enough" in Italian) when I was in danger of overeating.

'The choice was always mine, and I usually put down the fork. But I also got hip to late-night snacking, raiding the refrigerator and cupboards after midnight.'

It must be hard having a beauty like Iman as your mom. Glad to see she slimmed down.
