Meaning of the quote
This quote shows that even famous and successful models like Tyra Banks can feel insecure about their bodies. Even though she works hard to exercise and stay fit, she is not happy with certain parts of her body. This just goes to show that everyone, even those who seem perfect, have things they wish they could change about themselves. It's important to remember that no one is perfect, and that it's normal to feel self-conscious sometimes.
