Coco Austin is a curvy woman but she said that she didn't always embrace her body.

It wasn't until she met her husband Ice-T that she became comfortable in her own skin. The two have been married since 2001.

"I give him credit for me being me, to this day," she said on the talk show The Real in July. "He was the one that was like 'no you have something to work with, work with it, it's unique,'"

Now the star often posts photos on Instagram in which she flaunts her body, especially her voluptuous bottom. She's even captioned a recent bikini photo, "I feel very comfortable in my skin.That's why I love my job!"

But, she works hard for her rocking body and is often photographed in the gym. She also provides fans with her own fitness tips on her website, The Coco Blog.

The model also stressed the fact that she doesn't diet.

"I just eat small portions of food throughout the day & don't eat a lot of sweets. I start the day with yogurt or oatmeal & fish oil pills," she wrote.
