Question

Im a model with such low self esteem, and am so depressed. pls help me?
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

Answer 1

Hello there. I am just starting out in the modeling world. I think that you and I could really help each other. I have issues with myself as well. You are going to hurt your body if you don't take care of it properly. You need to eat healthy so that you can get all of the vitamins and minerals that you need. If you starve your self your hair could start falling out, your skin will look bad, your body will start to give out on you. It is bad for your heart to starve yourself. I bet that you are sooooo BEAUTIFUL!!!! but if you starve yourself , you are going to start to look sick. Maybe you should go talk to a therapist.

Answer 2

I'm very sorry to hear that you are in such sorrow. Since this is only Yahoo Answers and there's not much I can do other than give you small advices...but I will try my best to help you.

The best thing you could do is to go talk to a therapist that take care of heartaches like you have. I don't know where you live, but I'm sure there's Psychologists around you. Go talk to your family doctor or walk in clinic doctors or even go to emergency room.

From what I read, with that size and that height, you sound like a beautiful lady. I hope you'll feel better soon...Good luck and take care.

awww.
im sorry.
dont do laxitives though.
its not safe.
i saw a documentary on it, trust me.
i used to be anerxioc too although it may seem like your not, you really are. a size 2 is amazing, but i think a size 0 looks unhealthy.
i understand that the heroine sheek look is in, but its not good.
you should go to the gym every day and eat healthy foods.
that helps you loose weight the right way.
by not eating and taking laxitives youre just gonna gain the weight right back.
when your modeling career is over you will just puff up.
loose weight the right way by diet and exercise.
never starve yourself. you body will go into starvation mode and you will gain more weight from eating anything that way.
since youre already skinny, you just need some toneing.
good luck.

While you're obviously very good looking and have what it takes, maybe you need something more in your life than this career. Friends of mine who are also models often have another line of work on the side - many of them university careers or something more fulfilling than the b*tchy, competitive industry they are in. This helps a lot with thier self esteem and when they get down they have something else to focus on.
They do well in thier fields and often spend time helping others less fortunate or achieving intellectually. While they enjoy thier modelling, many of who have been in the industry a while are not entirely fulfilled by it. Why don't you try enrolling in your local college, trying a career on the side or volunteering? I'm sure there's more to you than just your outer beauty..

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

Listen I'm not anyone special but I am someone who has battled weight since I was a small child like since I was 1, now I'm 30.Most of my life I weighed 2 pounds shy of 300, now I'm at about 175-180. I have found in life that as long as you keep comparing yourself to others you will always be feeling this way!! If modeling makes you feel like this or just the people around you when you model then in all reality you have to quit. I know that sounds like the cheap way out but you have to do what makes you feel happy and healthy. HONEY you truly going to make yourself sick and I do'nt just mean physically but mentally too plus in other ways that trust me you DO NOT want to experience! Maybe take some time for yourself try doing something else in modeling. Try behind the scenes or something else in the modeling field, untill your ready to see yourself as beautiful just like the way your creator created you and as beautiful as you know you are........
Plus honey the body does not make someone beautiful the truth that you give to yourself from inside is what makes a person beautiful,.........................THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE SEE!!

Answer 7

Well 1st of all a size 2 is to small.Not eating only makes you more depressed because your not getting the vitamins you need.You need to eat more,like 3 full course meals a day and healthy snacks in between and cut out the laxitives as they will dehydrate you if your not eating.Eat healthy and lots of it.And drink lots of water..Not eating only causes your body to store fat and slows your metabolisim so the fat dont burn off..By the sounds of things you have no fat which is very unhealthy on your body..So eat and exercise is the main thing..not starve and laxitives..Try it you will be feeling alot better in the days to come if you stick to it..

Answer 8

ok dont worry to much you need to relax being a size 2 dose not make you fat. in life there are people 20 times bigger than you and some of them are happy and there are some girls that are size 0 and not happy.
live life happerly with your family and friends, do that and i bet you wont be depressed but its your choice, live life as a model trying to get to a size 0 , losseing touch with your family and friends and worry about your weight for the hole of your career.
IT UP TO YOU
but i would still support you if you wana be a model.
email me if you want to chat

Answer 9

first off, u shouldnt be getting advice from this site, you should go talk to some1 professional or maybe ur family. but i need to tell u that u shouldnt care about wat other people think and say. u shouldnt want to be size 0 because that realy does not look good. everyone knows that women look good when they're a little chunky. plz dont worry about eating. u can keep a nice body by eating. as long as u eat healthy. dont starve urself and a;so be open with ur friends/family. tell them how u feel. they will hel u through it. and u also need to stay away from those friends that tell u how to starve urself.

if u want to talk more then just email me at [e-mail]

Answer 10

That's right, you need help! You have anorexia nervosa. You need to see a doctor. Why? Because you're going to die. I'm sorry to sound cruel, but you are going to die darlin. Get yourself to a doctor or hospital. What kind of model will you be if you're dead? Did you know that Marilyn Monroe was a size 12? Or that when Kate Winslet made Titanic she was wearing a dress size that was in the double digits? It's too easy to get caught up in the way the modeling world tells us to look. I was bullemic once hun. There are people in this world who love you and want you to live, including me, and I don't have to know you. I want you to live. Please get help.
