ive always wanted to be a runway model and am 5 10" , long blonde hair and have been told by scouts i have what it takes. when i go to local fashion shows and see the other girls it spurs me on to starve myself and i am so miserable. when i see my friends i have to hide from them that i dont eat. when i was talking to another young model she told me that she gets loads of colonics and takes laxatives and she was so skinny and lovely. so i have been taking laxatives, starving and am booked into get a colonic. but i feel so jealous and my life is taken up with how skinny i am. i am now in a size 2 , but many models are a size 0 and it gets me so down to think i am fat and ugly. i dont have a social life anymore and hadly talk to my family. i am so depressed and need help

I think that you really should not be too hard on yourself. So what if another girl is 10 lbs heavier than you and 2 sizes smaller. You don't have to be the smallest, skinniest person to be a winner. Ever see Nicole Richie, all bone and no body? As a guy, I'll tell you, she is just gross. No social life, come on, you are killing yourself. You are young and I believe you should go out with the girlfriends and have fun because confidence is attractive. I really do hope that you will have a more enjoyable life, and you have no reason to compare yourself to other models, because, as your scouts said, you do have what it takes, and how do you think the knew that? By seeing you be yourself. By the way, do not EVER feel fat or ugly because a Size 2 girl is just perfect. Take my advice and have some FUN!!! =)

Hello there.... I hate to hear about people such as you who place so much value on their appearance. At the end of the day one day you will get old and your modelling will be gone and where will you be then?
To be successful as a model you will need to come to this realisation that it has to be fun, you have to have enjoyment in who you are... Less and less people are wanting overly skinny models anyway.
My recommendation is to drop the modelling aspiration in the short term and focus your energy into finding our who you are and the things that are great about yourself. Then once you love yourself reapproach modeling with the intent that you are perfect and you dont need to change a thing.

first of all..if your a model, you shouldn't have ANY self-esteem problems!obviously you are GORGEOUS, i mean you must be to be a model, so you shouldnt bring yourself down when thousands of girls want to be you. second of all..I think it's VERY UNHEALTHY for you to starve yourself, it's horrible for your body..you slow down your metabolism and eventually in the future you will end up gaining all your weight back. plus, did you hear about the model who died from anorexia? so basically you're putting your life and health at risk. and also SIZE 2 is SOOOO small for a woman who's 5'10 so don't think that you are fat! overall, I really hope that you focus on your multiple good qualities and learn to love yourself because there is NOTHING wrong with you at all! as for family/friends, spend more time with them, it will help motivate you to be healthier and happier. hope you feel better !

hi!when i was younger i was obssesed with being a model i was convinced i could do a better job than other models,and i was so passionate about it and also wanted to be a victoria secret angel,but i'm only 5'6 and all my family and friends would tell me that i'd grow taller (i'm 16) but one day a very evil friend told me i would never grow taller so i cried that day but later realized, u know what? **** it, ima be an anesthesiologist,and i'm going to gain weight so that i can have a toned body and nice legs
(because i'm really really skinny and have a really fast metabolism, but i don't like to be skinny)-modeling is really not that imporatnt just concentrate on being happy and living ur life and having the body u want to have, not wut the agents want u to have.
