Top model Arzetti still slim, wants more babies

Unlike many women, top model Arzetti Bilbina seems to have had no problem with her weight after giving birth.

"I've lost 11 kilograms, from 71 kilograms to 60 kilograms in three weeks thanks to the treatments at Marie France Bodyline," Arzetti, who has just been appointed as the body care center's spokesperson, told reporters.

The 31-year-old model said she decided to take the center's body treatment because it uses natural materials, instead of additional food and drugs or a rigid diet.

Arzetti admitted that, initially, her businessman husband Aditya Setiawan was not interested in her taking the slimming treatment as she was still breast-feeding their six-month-old baby boy Bagas Wicaksono Rahardisetiawan.

"My husband wanted me to remain fat as I am still breast- feeding our baby. Fat is no problem for him, " she once said jokingly.

"However, he likes it more (the slimmer version)," said Arzetti who is one of the founders of modeling group Face Agency and is still teaching at OQ modeling school.

Lampung-born Arzetti replaced actress Dian Nitami, who is now pregnant with her second child, as the spokesperson of the international slimming center.

As giving birth and breast-feeding has not had a big impact on her figure, Arzetti now wants to have more babies.

"I want to have four more children," she said.

Arzetti married last year in an elegant wedding ceremony held at a luxury hotel in Senayan, Jakarta. The wedding was followed by a honeymoon abroad.

The marriage is thus far free from gossip and television entertainment programs often picture them as a happy couple.

Arzetti, who has been a model for the past 15 years said she gained fame thanks to hard work.

"I believe that popularity should come through a process. People who get instant popularity should be ready to quickly lose it," she advised.

However, she said she did not underestimate the caliber of winners of various modeling and singing contests.

She said the winners should use the competitions as an initial step and continue to learn and work hard to reach their dreams of success.

"They should consider the contests as just a game. And they need not to be disappointed if they lose. They must try again and again," she said. --A.Junaidi
