“I spent a lot of my teenage years in the modeling and fashion industry, being extremely conscious of my body. I want my girls to be healthy but don't want them to feel they have to count calories or be self-conscious,” Bensimon told RadarOnline.com about her daughters. Bensimon says her favorite chapter in Susan Shapiro Barash’s book You’re Grounded, But First Let’s Go Shopping focuses on feeding your children.
