I was happy to read news today that model, Inga Radziejewski, who struggled with anorexia is recovering and doing well with a new modelling agency that supports her health! I am thrilled for her and certain her inspirational story will help a lot of young girls and women in similar situations.

I found it very difficult to read some of the blogs and news articles about everything that Inga went through while she was struggling with her anorexia. One article you can read here stated that she was unable to fit into Dior fashions when she was an American size 00 (according to her measurements).
The 5ft 11 stunner said she reduced herself to a mere seven stone in the grip of anorexia that left her on the verge of organ failure.
“I was incredibly skinny but at fittings for designers like Christian Dior the clothes were so small that even though I was anorexic, I still struggled to get in them – despite my measurements being 27in chest, 21in waist and 27.5in hips,” the Mirror quoted her as saying.
She continued: “At one job for a German TV channel I overheard a casting director say, ‘She has got a too-big ass.’ I was already very skinny, but it made me even more determined to stay slim and I found every reason not to eat. At my worst I was eating just half an apple a day and drinking lots of peppermint tea with brown sugar and I still thought I would get fat.”
It saddens me to hear that some fashion houses are still pushing women to starve themselves and risk their lives to sell the clothes, but I am thrilled for Inga and I wish her a long and happy life, free of her eating disorder and the harsh, unfair judgements of hateful people in this world.
