oh my god finally; a model with a solidly healthy BMI who doesn’t make a fuss over it

i agree that she is beautiful and it’s great that she’s not stick thin, but i actually stopped following her because she was a pretty negative influence re: body image for me.

she lost a lot of weight pretty quickly and then spoke very negatively of her “before” body. she even ended up deleting a video off her YouTube where she shared old photos of herself (including as a child) because she was calling herself a cow and stuff :-/ when ppl commented saying she was being too critical, that a lot of ppl look like her “before” and that’s fine, she basically said she hated her body back then and only became happy when she lost weight. which is fair enough and relatable for many, but not exactly body pos idk

also I believe she is signed with img as “talent” (i.e., an entertainer) not a model, and she was only signed after losing a significant amount of weight. sorry to rain on the parade, i realize this is pretty cynical but that’s my perspective on it. i understand if ppl enjoy following her and appreciate the representation she provides, but i wanted to share my take

i recommend following @barbieferreira, who is a body positive model truly living her best life
