I have no problem with the label. I’m proud of myself, my industry and all the
beautiful plus size women I know and work with it. It’s not insulting in any way
to be associated with them. I am proud to be considered a plus size model.
What is your advice to women struggling with an eating disorder or
self acceptance?
Every person’s struggle is different and personal, so it’s hard to give any
sweeping advice. But people need to know it can be done. They key was really
believing I was enough. Once I started to get to a place of self-acceptance,
giving myself the care I needed got easier to do. Of course I have insecurities
from time to time. But I really work on walking the beliefs I carry; I love my body
healthier choices but also eating the things you want from time to time! And if I
do struggle, I remind myself of how I would want my daughter to be treated… it
gets really easy then!
