Starting over really is starting over!

I know that models struggle with body image and weight issues constantly throughout their careers. Just about a year ago, I chose to start dieting and exercising, not because of a negative body image or to help my career, but for health concerns. I have a lot of weight associated health issues in my family history. I decided that more than ever, now was the time to drop the weight and keep it off as a complete lifestyle change. It worked, and I dropped about 30 pounds last year. The problem now, is that I have trouble wearing what is in my wardrobe. The majority of those clothes don't fit me anymore, and I can't just go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. Thus, I'm finding it difficult to pick out clothes for photo shoots. With respect to my pictures, as I was looking at my online profile today, I basically have to start from scratch. Nothing I have really works because of the weight loss, as I look significantly changed. Even old tearsheets aren't valuable enough anymore. Not only am I jumpstarting the modeling career again, I literally have to start over! I'm kind of freaking out just a little. Just saying.

  1. Congratulations on the weight loss, but i'm sorry about the wardrobe thing. I found this blog searching for a picture of my family. Apparently we have the same last name!
