Overweight To Straight

Did you consciously decide to be anorexic?
I did. I saw it as a solution. I was being made fun of constantly at school about my weight, so I thought starving myself was a really good idea. And I figured it would work for me since I had a lot of willpower. I told myself that I just wouldn't eat, and I'd exercise a lot.

Did you always want to be a model?
No, definitely not. But I was 5'11" and anorexic, so I was really, really skinny like models are. People told me I should model, but I thought I was super-alternative, and was like, "whatever!" I didn't want to do something so mainstream as to be a fashion model.
