Anorexic Model Speaks Out

Anorexc Model Speaks Out.

It’s sounds like a glamourus dream. Walking the catwalks of Milan, Paris, London and New York. Making money and wearing some of the most beautiful gowns known to man. For some it is. For others, it is a nightmare.

Fashion model, Inga Radziejewski speaks out about the pressures to be thin in the modeling world. “I was incredibly skinny but had fittings for designers like Christian Dior and the clothers were so small that even though I was anorexic I struggled to get in them.”

At her lowest weight she topped the scales at an unbelievable 98 pounds and wore a size 00. Way to small for the frame of a 5’11″ beauty.

Inga’s credits include H&M, Dior, Miss Sixty, Benneton and the James Bond Movie, “Quantum of Solace.”

At her worst she admits to eating only half and apple a day and drinking peppermint tea with brown sugar to energize her body. Eventually she left the catwalk to get help and now wears a size 12 and finds modeling jobs in Asia.

“In some ways it was very glamorous.” she says of her modeling life. “I lived in a hotel suite. But food was just not a subject anyone discussed. Not once was I asked if I’d eaten.”
