Former Plus-Sized Model Is Losing Her Curves

In a world where we are constantly scrutinizing too thin celebrities, too fat celebrities and everything in between, when I read an article about former plus-sized model, Crystal Renn, and her new transformation, I can’t help thinking, are we all ever going to be happy in the bodies we are in?

From the start Renn has battled body image issues. In the past, as a 95-pound 16-year-old anorexic and then as a successful size 14 plus-sized model.

Her career has certainly been one of extremes.

And while here at Scandle do not judge, Renn’s new appearance has sparked some controversy, especially since she has become a vocal advocate of overly skinny models.

She also became the face of recovery from anorexia when she published her struggles in her 2009 memoir “Hungry: A Young Model’s Story of Appetite, Ambition, and the Ultimate Embrace of Curves.”

We all know the pitfalls and health issues that can appear when we dramatically gain or loose weight but it seems that is not the issue here.

It is one of concern - because she overcame anorexia and publicly denounced her former “skinny” self and was an extremely successful plus-sized model, she should always be plus-sized? That’s at least what I’ve gathered from the commentary on her new size.

Let’s hear your thoughts……..
