This is the before and after of a model I used to represent. In my opinion, she is one of the most centered and healthy young ladies I’ve met in this industry. Constantly trying to improve the inside person as well as the outside. She eats clean and is a yoga and excersize fanatic, yet this is how her body matured and settled out. I know it must have been tough for her in an industry that praises what she looked like in her before picture; yet, I think she has come out on top and even more beautiful than when I first met her. Please read her message below. I think it is important. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes! Heather is definitely a beautiful person.
In Heather’s own words:
“I have an important message to get across — one that I’ve only come to understand through my own experiences. And I’m going to be transparent, which is something I’m not comfortable with. But I feel I must be in order to get my simple point across. What you see here is a 70-pound difference. A girl that had a healthy lifestyle then and has a healthy lifestyle now. I’ve been judged as both girls. However, the ironic thing is: I didn’t change much. No, I didn’t let myself go. No, I didn’t starve myself before. All I had were some health problems with my hormones, insulin levels, and thyroid. Don’t judge people. Things aren’t always what they seem. Sometimes you never really know. So, next time you find yourself making assumptions about someone else, it’s easy: don’t. Thank you.

I know Heather, and think that is is one of the most beautiful people I have met (inside and out) however I think that the health issue she has gone through has made her even more beautiful. She is an inspiration and a true testament that beauty is not a number on a scale. I hope her story speaks to the hearts of those out there battling with their weight, on one spectrum or another… just be healthy and be yourself. That’s when true beauty is unveiled.
