Modelizing: Iman's Daughter Struggled With Weight

Imagine having a supermodel mom? It may sound glamorous, but it probably isn't the easiest position in life when your body image isn't feeling 100%.  Zulekha Haywood, daughter of Iman, struggled when it came to weight and body image. Haywood, who once weighed over 320 pounds underwent gastric bypass. Her post-surgery bod currently brings her at about 168 pounds.
"I have more or less been on a diet since I was eight years old. None of them worked," she told Glamour. "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."
