In watching the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, it becomes frighteningly evident how the modeling industry teaches women to hate our bodies. Two normal weight women, 5'7" or over in height and weighing 135-140 pounds were told that they were too heavy to be models and were told that they had two weeks to lose the weight. They were told to run twice per day (I believe the amount they were to run each time was two miles) and to curtail their caloric intake. I could have screamed and beaten someone to death with a porterhouse, so outraged was I!
Once upon a time I was 5'5" tall and weighed 130 pounds. I thought I was fat. I developed an eating disorder.
Why are not the aforementioned women the MODEL of what a healthy female should look like?? I think that they are!
The modeling industry is not about modeling health. It is a model of emaciation.
When will we women stop buying the lie??
Peace.
