What a joke, coming from a woman who worked for the fashion industry. Really. Starving yourself to fit into a size zero — why did that size even exist? Zero referred to the absence of something, but what did it mean in terms of a model’s measurements? Her fat? Or her presence? How much could you cut away before the person herself vanished? It was hypocritical, that’s what it was. I said as much, adding, “If you’re so keen on me being healthy then you should have no problem accepting me for the way I am. That’s what’s healthy, Mom. Not being focused on all this freaky weight-loss stuff.
