I am at the limit of chubbiness at all times, says Salma Hayek

London - Salma Hayek, who is one of the sexiest stars in Hollywood, has revealed that she overindulges herself while eating - to the extent where she can look a little plump.

According to More magazine, the 46-year-old actress, who is currently promoting her new film ‘Savages,’ said that she pushes “the limit of chubbiness at all times,” adding, “I’m not a skinny  girl.”

“Everybody has a weakness -- mine is food,” the Daily Mail quoted her, as saying.

“If you love food and you love red wine and they put you in France, you’re in a good place and you’re in a bad place at the same time,” she said.

To allow herself to indulge guilt-free, the ‘Frida’ star said that she stepped on weighing scale daily, adding, “you have to weigh yourself every day, and you have to have an alarm number.

“When you get to that number, you have to start putting it in reverse,” she said.

Hayek said that she kept her figure in check by dieting more so than exercising, confessing, “I don’t have stamina in exercise . . . but I have it in life.”

She also revealed that her billionaire hubby Francois-Henri Pinault kept her motivated to keep an eye on the scale.

“I think if I was not in love, I would probably let myself go faster. Love gives me the vanity to continue,” she said.

“I’m not necessarily vain, but when I gained 50-something pounds in the pregnancy, it did something to me. Since then, at least I make an effort,” she added.
