Holly Madison Reflects on Struggle With Body Dysmorphia During Time at Playboy Mansion
In a video shared to TikTok, Holly Madison looked back at a photo from 2005 and spoke about her battle with body image. See her message to fans below.
The 41-year-old model detailed her experience in a video posted to TikTok earlier this week. The topic came up after Madison was looking for pictures of herself in a Playboy Bunny costume and found one from 2005.
"I came across one," she told her million followers, "and it reminded me of a moment in my life where I was watching a playback of myself in a fashion show and I thought, 'Oh my god, I need to lose weight.'"
Madison said she decided to talk about this time because she thought it "might help people realize that sometimes our body dysmorphia is off the charts." She then described the impact it had on her life.
"I really feel like worrying about what I look like has gotten in the way of me living my best life," Madison said, "and being as happy as I could be and really enjoying life as much as I could."
The alum of The Girls Next Door, an E! series that followed Madison and her co-stars at the Playboy Mansion from 2005 to 2009, then asked her fans to think about their own relationships with their bodies and if they're "holding you back by feeling bad about yourself."
"It's not worth it," she continued. "It's not worth feeling bad about yourself. Like, there are things we all want to improve about ourselves, but it's not even worth taking the time to be miserable."
Looking at the throwback photo, Madison remembered feeling "terrified" at the time.
"[I] thought I had gained weight, and thought I hadn't stuck to my diet, and I thought my thighs were huge and I thought, 'I need to lose five pounds at least,'" she recalled. "And that's ridiculous. I look like a stick."
After watching the video, several viewers thanked Madison for her post. "Thank you so much," one commenter wrote. "This video is so helpful to so many." Added another, "I love you Holly! Thank you for being so honest and open."

Holly Madison recalls body dysmorphia struggle during Playboy days: 'I thought my thighs were huge'
'Girls Next Door' alum lived in the Playboy mansion when she dated Hugh Hefner
Holly Madison is opening up about the effects body dysmorphia can have on one's psyche.
The "The Girls Next Door" alum took to TikTok this week to share a body-positive message with her followers about how she used to obsess over her weight while living in the Playboy mansion.
While dressed in a casual T-shirt at home, Hugh Hefner's former girlfriend informed viewers that she was trying to find a throwback picture of herself in a Playboy bunny costume. Madison ultimately shared a stunning photo of herself dressed in a black strapless satin corset and her long, platinum blonde curls falling past her shoulders.
Looking back at the old photo reminded the mother of two of the negative things she used to tell herself about her body, she said.
"It reminded me of a moment in my life where I was watching a playback of myself in a fashion show and I thought, 'Oh my God, I need to lose weight.' And I'm sharing this because I think it might help people realize that sometimes our body dysmorphia is off the charts," Madison said.
Madison insisted to her 1 million followers that being critical of oneself, especially when it comes to looks, can steal a person of their happiness.
"I really feel like worrying about what I look like has gotten in the way of me living my best life and being as happy as I could be and really enjoying life as much as I could. I hope that people can take a minute to think about how they think about their own body and is it holding you back by feeling bad about yourself?" she asked.
"I looked at myself when I looked like this and was terrified and thought I had gained weight and thought that I hadn't stuck to my diet and I thought my thighs were huge and thought I needed to lose five pounds at least," she recalled.
Madison now calls her past criticism of her body "ridiculous."
"I look like a stick," she said of the throwback photo.
Madison is best known for her high-profile relationship with the late Playboy founder which was documented on the former reality series "Girls Next Door," also starring Hefner's exes Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt.
