"I'm lucky, I don't like sweets, not even chocolate"
About this Quote
The specific intent is defensive and promotional at once. She reassures the audience (and the fashion machine) that her appearance is natural, effortless, untroubled by cravings. It's a neat inversion: what many people experience as temptation becomes something she simply doesn't want, implying a kind of genetic or personal exemption. The "not even chocolate" tag is the punchline and the tell. Chocolate functions as cultural shorthand for indulgence, guilty pleasure, self-soothing. Rejecting it performs purity, the wellness-adjacent virtue of being unbothered by the most common vice.
Context matters: Herzigova came up in the 1990s supermodel era, when "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" was the zeitgeist's unspoken caption. In that climate, appetite is political. The subtext isn't just about dessert; it's about the acceptable ways women are allowed to discuss the mechanics of maintaining an aspirational body. Calling it luck sidesteps the harsher story: the work, the scrutiny, the cost.
