London, Jan 17 (IANS): Reality TV star Cindy Crawford is dedicated to teaching her two children about having a fit and healthy frame.

The 48-year-old, who has daughters Kaia, 13, and Presley, 15, with her husband Rande Gerber, makes a "conscious" effort to teach the youngsters about having a healthy body, over a stick thin figure.

"If my daughter sees me accepting my body the way it is and not denigrating myself because I'm not stick thin, or only eating lettuce with no dressing. If she sees I enjoy food, but I also exercise,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted Crawford as saying.

"I mean, I don't sit around with a pint of ice cream watching TV, but at the same time if we all go out for ice cream as a family, I'll order some. A kiddie-size one, but that's the way you do it. I'm very conscious that I want (Kaia) to get the right message because what you see in the magazines and on the runways, it is a very thin image,” she added.
