Washington, October 31 Victoria's Secret super model Marisa Miller has said that she worked hard to regain her bikini body after gaining weight following her marriage with Hollywood producer Griffin Guess.

The beauty had ranked number one last year in the Maxim's 2008 "Hot 100" and even featured in the cover of Sports Illustrated.

"I put on a lot of weight after getting married. My husband is really tall and skinny and can eat whatever he wants," Fox News quoted her as saying.

She added: "Of course I thought I could eat whatever I want to, but no, it doesn't work like that."

"Luckily I have a lot of motivation with my job, its important to do something everyday. Every time you can you should do something because it's really hard to get into summer and then play a whole bunch of catch-ups.

"I travel with resistance bands, I box a lot, I spin and I surf - I try to mix it up and make it fun so my body doesn't get bored. But it is good to keep the curves, it's not about being super skinny."

The 31-year-old, who was present at a recent Victoria's Secret event poolside at Westwood's W Hotel, revealed she was a tomboy in childhood.

She said: "Growing up I was incredibly shy, I was such a tomboy. I was always wearing baggy pants and big t-shirts. I was really, really self-conscious of my body.

"So a lot has changed for me personally and Victoria's Secret has really helped with that. We all have things we're self-conscious bout, I'm not the tallest model in the world and when I started having curves it was really hard for me." (ANI)
