On stereotypes:
“People think plus-size models don’t exercise – we do! But it’s about health, not forcing my body to be something it’s not meant to be.”
On spending years trying to be a size 0:
“Even at my lightest, I just couldn’t get there. I genuinely really tried. I was counting calories, I was taking diet pills, I was dabbling in starvation. I thought you had to be skinny to be beautiful. And I thought I would never be beautiful at this size.”
On being considered plus-sized:
“People say, “How is she a plus-size model?” and I’m like, “Exactly, this is the point, how am I a plus-size model?” I don’t think anyone should be called plus-size. I think it’s derogatory to anyone – it’s a label. I’m a model; I don’t think I need ‘plus-size’ in front of it.”
… says Robyn.
