Crystal Renn

This woman is my idol. I think she is amazing.

Crystal Renn is 23 years old and a plus size model.

When she was 14 a model scout came to her school and told he she could become a
model-if she lost weight.
Crystal dieted until she reached 95 pounds, aged 16, which for a girl who's height is 5'9" she was in the unhealthy weight range and suffering from anorexia. She would exercise for around 8 hours a day and now has hip problems from all the exercise.

Eventually she began to put on weight, even though she hadn't changed her eating habits and her agency told her she'd need to lose weight or become plus size.

At eighteen years old Crystal decided to become a plus size model and put on around 70 pounds taking her up to a Us size 12, or a UK size 16.

Working for Ford, she has been the cover star on loads of magazines. And she is now a much happy healthier person and has taken the fashion world by storm.

I admire her for her bravery and her perseverance, I think she's amazing :).
