RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
Aww the poor thing!
I think its sick that people are still using her as a model,it shouldn't be allowed,what message does it give out to young people?
She's still under weight at 6st,and shouldn't be modelling!
When will the fashion world get in in their thick heads that people arnt that weight naturally,there should be a law against it!
Whats wrong with curvy natural women modelling? After all the avarage british woman is a size 12/14.
Is there any wonder young girls and boys are being hospitalised daily for anorexia when you've got idiots in the fashion world showing models this ill,its sick!
I really hope Isabelle gets better and puts on weight,but i dont think she will if she carries on working in the shallow fashion world.

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
I always though the average women was a size 16, but thats not the point as there are so many beautiful bigger women. Its about health and being sensible.
Anorexia is a terrible illness and these poor girls should be helped to recover from it. In my personal opinion employing them while they are still dangerously thin is not helping any one!

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
I am tired of people saying size 16 is healthy - it is NOT (unless you are exceptionally tall) Just because it is the average in the UK only indicates that we are becoming a nation of fatties!!!!!
In the 1950's size 12 was the average, and if you look at the 1950's dress measurement for sz12 (36-26-36) You will see that it is much nearer to a modern size 8 or 10.
What is the difference? Maybe it's that people got off the sofa and cooked a proper meal rather than sitting on the sofa scoffing biscuits and watching Trisha!!!!
Obesity is as dangerous as Anorexia!!
This poor anorexic girl is obviously at an extreme end of the scale.
Extremities either way are unattractive and unhealthy and indicate illness.
People should try to stop looking for the perfect body, excersize and stay off the fatty foods and sugar and eat a healthy balanced diet then we'd all be healthier and happier!!!

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
And who are you to say size 16 isn't healthy?.....A doctor!
Size 14/16 is the avarage uk size,doesn't mean we sit on our arses all day scoffing biscuits watching Trisha or what ever! How ignorant are you lucille909!
Im a 14/16 and proud of it,i work out daily and eat a healthy diet,im training at the moment for a 25mile charity bike ride,and have done many before. Somehow if i was 'obese' at a size 14/16 i dont think id have got very far!
Im not looking for the 'perfect' body,im happy with what ive got,im obviously ment to be this size as ive not changed in all the years ive been biking!
And if you hadn't noticed were in the year 2008,not the bloody 50's! Allthough your brain could still be!
If you didn't know,everybody is born differently,were all shapes and sizes,there is no 'perfect' size,as long as your happy with your weight who are you to pull anyone down!
Go back to the 50's and get a life!!!

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
Your comments are insightful and I commend you for your bike riding prowess and your naturally large frame. However NO ONE naturally has a big wobbly belly, huge thighs, and arteries thick with fat.
This is all down to lifestyle choice mainly junk food and a lack of excersize i.e plain laziness.
People like to blame stress and illness but I myself suffer from 2 conditions (PCOS and Throyid) that should make me fat but I make a concious effort to look after myself and thus am slim and toned. It's not rocket science now is it?
Obseity is an illness and sucks the resources from the NHS dry, all because people can't keep their hands out of the cookie jar. Have they ever heard of self control???
Do you not walk down the high street and not just see teenage girls with huge guts but children too! This is plainly wrong and has alot to do this laziness, even when I was in school (only 15 years ago) there were only one or two fat children and those were the ones with a penchant for pizza!!
When will people learn that FAT is UNHEALTHY! The Morbid in MORBIDLY OBESE might give you a clue.

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
Well we have something in common then,im toned too,with a natural size frame for my height!
My thighs arnt wobbly,far from it,my belly doesn't wobble either (probably due to all the exercise)!
Im not lazy either,i also make a concious effort to look after myself and always have done,i am far from 'naturally large' as you put it!
It is ignorant and narrow-minded comments like yours that put people in hospital with anorexia,all because people can't or dont understand that everybody's body's are different!!
So if your looking for someone to blame for the state of the NHS look no further than your own mirror!
Obseity is an illness as is anorexia surley the people who suffer from either have as much right to treatment as do you from your illness!
OBESE is UNHEALTHY.....Being a FIT and TONED HEALTHY size 14/16 is NOT!!!

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
I think you have taken my comments far too personally and you should have a read again more carefully at my first post, obviously I am not condoning anorexia or infact over eating.
Read it again and maybe this time you will see that in essence we are saying the same thing, I however am not harping taking everything said as a personal insult but am talking about society in general. This is abundantly clear from the references made.
''This poor anorexic girl is obviously at an extreme end of the scale.
Extremities either way are unattractive and unhealthy and indicate illness.

As a size 14/16 it makes you borderline and you know it!!! Everyone is different but again I will say that no one is naturally fat.
This doesn't encourage mental illness (which of course is what anorexia is!) it should be taught in schools, so when teenagers are copying their overweight parents by stuffing themselves with ready meals, fried foods,sitting on their backsides, they might realise the correlation.
My advise to you is stop fighting a cause for a section of society who you do not represent and read things a bit more carefully before spouting off about yourself for two long posts, it only makes you sound wholly self obsessed.

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
how do you associate a size 16 to 'big wobbly belly, huge thighs, and arteries thick with fat.' ? and as for a size 16 beins associated with obesity, i think thats crazy, maybe if you are referring to a size 22 then you could associate obesity, but a size 16 is britains average size.
Big is beautiful and with reference to the size 16 woman you are argueing with, she is obviously not 'naturally large' as she wouldnt be able to have done half of what she said in the above comments. personally im an 8, and the woman is probably more toned then me!!
and as for this petty argument that seems to be all about which is a worst desease anorexia or obesity? i dont think you can compare, they are just on the same scale and one extreme to another.that is the only thing they have in comman.

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
I have to say both Clarabella and lucille909 makie valid points. However, I have to agree with the fact the its only extremities (either larger or skinnier) that make people unhealthy. People enjoying their food or having a few too many choccies doesnt drain the NHS at all, its the people who are unhealthy and have chosen not to do anything to help themselves.
I am the eldest of three girls, growing up both me and my middle sister could eat whatever we wanted and not gain a ounce, however my youngest sister was always bigger. She wasnt fed anything different to both my other sister and I as we were all living at home then. Whilst we are all tall girls at about 5'8-5'10, me and the middle sister have stayed a size 10 but the youngest is a gorgeous curvy size 16, with boobs, hips, and a teeny tiny waist to die for! She isnt unhealthy, she walks absoloutely everywhere, and eats really well! That is the size she is meant to be and she is a stunner..... whilst I'm sure my multitude of sins will catch up with me later in life!
It just is like everything, that very small minority that gives bigger/smaller people a bad name and drains the NHS resources, not a few people who like a few biscuits and a cake with a cuppa! As long as everyone is happy and healthy, then let them be!

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
I am wondering if anyone actually read my first post???? If you did you would see that it is clearly NOT about which is worst or personally about ciarabella! If you had bothered to read it that is plain and obvious.
A size 16 maybe national average but is not healthly for most people unless they are tall. National average height is 5ft 5. If you were a size 16 ,12.5 st and 5ft 5 then you would be clinically overweight or obese.
And if you hadn't noticed most high street shops use what the Americans call 'flattery sizing' A size 12 does NOT have a 32 inch waist. It is designed to make you prefer a brand because you take a size smaller in that shop but actually it is just a size bigger with a smaller label. People's ego's get in the way of plain fact regarding healthy weights.
It is a weight height correlation, check a BMI calender. see for yourselves. http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
My point was and still is that the UK has become a nation of fat, lazy, junk food eaters. I think these people should take reponsibility and a little self control before it is too late.

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
I agree with what you said about the whole BMI, but I think what most people were a bit defensive about is that you (lucille909) insinuated that by being a size 16, it made you all wobbly and lardy arsed, which isnt always the case. That's all.....

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
I do take your comments personally lucille909 and i have read your first post and found it very insulting that is why i had my say!
Being size 14/16 does NOT make you borderline obese!
Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumilation that presents a risk to health!
Obesity is a condition in which excess 'body fat' has accumulated to such an extent that 'health' may be negatively affected!
When someone is obese it MEANS they have put on weight to the point that it could seriously endanger their health!
Yes there are some extreme cases of obesity,but i for one do not come in the category and never have done!
You could argue the fact that my sister is 'normal' and healthy and fit at a size 8......
Yet we are identical twins! And im the one that excercises daily!
If i met you i would probably think you were 'borderline' anorexic,but i wouldn't personally insult you as you have done me!
Im fit and healthy and far from lazy and personally couldn't give a monkey's what you or any other ignorant narrow-minded person thinks of me!

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
Personally I dont think that Isabelle should be modelling as it is not a good role model for the children whom will see pictures of her, however people employing her are showing children its ok to be so thin when infact in most cases its unhealthy.
I take my hat off to Isabelle for the campaign which aimed to confront the industry about anorexia and recognise that she is working to highlight the dangers of the illness, but is it realy appropriate for somone who looks so unwell to be modelling jewellary and clothes, a picture wont tell a child 'being so thin could kill you' it is more likely to say to them that 'being so thin is glamorous and you can be a model like me if you look this way'.
I understand that every single individual is different, some larger and some smaller than others, that some 6 stone females are perfectly healthy, just as some heavier individuals are equally as healthy. however from looking at the picture of Isabelle in the purple dress above she still clearly looks far too thin and frail, it is not even pretty in my opinion as her arms look like twigs and her face looks far too big for her body.
I feel the 'industry' should be using a mix of different body shapes and sizes to represent society and give every youngster someone they can relate to and look up to. young people need to be able to see in magazines and on TV that its ok to be tall, short, thin, fat etc and that they dont have to feel presured to conform to what the'industry' deem as beautiful.
I commend Isabelle for all the work she has done in regard to publicising anorexia and the dangers of it, and also on a more personal level in regard to what she has done as is doing to overcome the disease. I wish her all the best in life!! xxx

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
Personally I think theres alot of narrow mind people talking on here and to be honest Im sick of this u gotta be this size to be sexy u gotta be that size to be sexy and georgeous. I am a size 8 always have been and maybe always well, I eat what I want when I want and have always been curvy yes curvy, I have a slim waist with small hips and nice assets but have an hour glass figure, theres no straight up and dwn hereI am happy with my weight but at one point i always thought I was too skinny I wanted to be bigger becuase now in the papers u have to be 12/14/16 to be curvy and sexy well now i dont care because I am healthy and in proportion and if I was any bigger I would not look nice due to the fact im 5ft2 and once i was a size 12 and looked like a blown up whale!!!I agree sometimes a women of size 16 does not even look how u expect a size 16 to look and they aint always fat or obese that is how they are so it is natural hunni and they were born like that it has nothing to do with their eating habits ,and they look sexy and beautiful but what I must admit is now the media have tried to tone down the fact that some people are overweight by calling them curvy when realistically they are not curvy they are simply overwight and they are refering to rolls of fat as being the curves which that is not what curvy means. Although that may sound rude im not trying to be im just being real because its the truth. Now the media basically makes it out that if u are under a size 10 ur skinny and underweight and that is clearly not true. As I am healthy and look healthy for my weight and height. So what u need to take note of is that you are happy in your own skin and stop worrying what average this and that is or what people think.
As for this girl i pray she gets her self to a healthy weight and gets her career going...but I dont think at this point she should be getting work as she still is far to skinny.But I wish her all the best.

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
clarabella - I am sorry, but what you have said is completely hypocrytical. Maybe this isn't the case for you personally, but a lot of women will be overweight at size 14. You basically said then in your first post that it is ok for overweight people to model but not underweight people. That it is alright to be rude to underweight people but not overweight people.
And good on you, Isabelle. I think that it is great that she is modelling, and I think that she will be a good role model for girls out there, especially those who have been anorexic. She is an example that you really can turn your life around for the better, no matter how bad things have been. I hope that she gets back to a normal weight and can have children with her partner.

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
it saddens me to read, on a post about the hell of a destroying mental illness anorexia, that so many of you are caught up with the complete opposite.
this obserde fight about the national average size for a women, a size 14/16 highlights the stupidity around a weight obsessed culture.
the arguement that size 14/16 means a women is obese, it is simple is it not? some women will be taller, size 14/16 and remain quite comfortably within the ideal for their BMI. it is the women who are 14/16 who ARE classed as obese from their BMI (or better yet body fat percentage as BMI doesnt take into account muscle mass) that need to worry.
but please, i am not incinuating that all 14/16 sized women are obese, that again would be obserde, nor am i saying that all 14/16 sized women are perfectly healthy, because some are not.
the issue of this article is not about whos fat or thin, whos most healthly a size 8 or a size 16, nor is it about blaming a size 16 for being "lazy" or for size 8 for "starving themselves" (please note the inverted comma's)
the idea of this article is to highlight the effect all this stress on weight can have on people. this is an example of an extreme, a deadley one.
im ashamed to say that some of you ladies have fallen into the trap of blaming the "fat" or "thin", which shows perfectly the stupidity of the attitudes some people in this society has.
it is this stupid obsession that are leading to these problems, many of us complain about the weight issues the media seem to put across but many of us fall into it, complaining about the larger people in society, or conflicting ourselves about the smaller sized women.
you all say about women being the size they are, and you should accept them for it, so long as their happy.
so why arent you doing it?

in all honesty size 16 or size 6-8 is not a healthy look
the reason why the fashion world have these ideal that slim is better fit on clothes because of the very thing that you both fight for which is what is attractive in your mind-phychologically how you want to see yor self

i admit i wouldnt ever let myself past a size 12 but for others who are 14/16 dont rub it in there faces thats your a stick and there not to be honest id ratha have a bit of flab then be a size 6 .... one of my best friends was going anorexic she dropped from a lovely size 10 to a size four in about 9 weeks ... bludy horrid !!!!!

Personally i prefare a woman with afew curves,who goes in and out in all the right places,and not a stick with no boobs!
In your first post you say 'uk are bloated,swell and chubby' yet you later go on to say your a brittish citizen,so your labeling yourself a porker too then!....Nice one cleaver cloggs!?!
If your face matches yor attitude you are one hell of an ugly minger!
Beauty comes from within,something you'l never have!
No wonder you haven't replied to Clarabella's comments,she was spot on about Sophie Dahl...She was spotted when she was a size 16,I REPEAT SIZE 16 16 16 16 16 and she MODELED for some of the top designers of the world! So you were wrong LJ888,top designers did consider a size 16 to be beautiful!
You obviously didn't learn anything about manners at your 'top' uni did you?!
YOU WILL NEVER BE BEAUTIFUL IN THIS WORLD,NEVER EVER,NEVER......NOT WITH THE UGLY ATTITUDE YOU HAVE!

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
LJ888, what a vile person you are, your comments were completely appalling. Last year I cut back on a lot of the foods i enjoyed, exercised obsessively, and have never been so slim in my life (i was a size 8). As i am quite tall, this look did not suit me. All the people i cared about were worried about me as i looked ill, i was fainting regularly, my face was sunken and quite honestly, i have never looked worse than i did then. Since then, i have gone up two dress sizes to a size 12, have good boobs, a good bum, a toned stomach, and i think i look damn hot. In order to fit into your "beautiful world" i need to be desperately unhappy and ill.
The point is, everyone is different. My sister is a size 8, shorter than i am, and is stunning. My best friend is a size 16, taller than i am, and is also stunning. My slim sister does not spend her life on a treadmill with just a carrot stick to last her the day, and my best friend does not spend her time slobbing on a sofa with a bar of chocolate. Anyone who thinks along these lines must be surely very narrow minded.
The main thing is how we feel about ourselves, and that we are happy and healthy, whether that means you are a size 8 or a size 18.

indeed Lj888 came across as an intelligent person but with a slightly distorted view of the way they percieved things
I WOULD just like to state slim does not equal beauty i have seen many a slim women in my time whom are not pretty whereas i have seen larger women whom have the most prettiest faces-
there are many larger sized models whom do very well and represent the more curvy women being the majority in england where statistically over half the majority have a pear shaped figure if that doesnt speak volumes , then what does?

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
Sophie Dahl supermodel.......not the best example! She is famous for losing half her size 16 body weight, to slim down to a healthy 8!!!!
Sadly anyone who doesn't stay within their BMI (as I pointed out in my earlier post) is unhealthy, medical fact, ladies! So everyone who is singing the praises of size 16+ will have to deal with the medical problems that come with that extra weight, these are multiple and we all know what they are. Stay whichever shape you like but don't fool yourselves to thinking it's comes without consequences.

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
The fact of the matter is that Sophie Dahl was modeling at a size 16!
Whether she lost weight after (probably under pressure) doesn't take away the fact she made it as a model at size 16!
(something lj888 said would never happen).
Its a fact,it did!
And i also dont think Isabelle is a good example of a model either,she is too skinny and obviously ill.
I bet she has lots of health problems,doing everyday things for starters,her skin dosn't look in the best condition and i bet she gets out of breath as much as an overweight person.
Medical problems dont just come with overweight people,there are lots of problems to be had being underweight.
Just because someone might be a size above a 12,14 or 16 does not mean they arnt healthy.

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
why do you feel that you have the final say? because you like to feel powerful hence the big words trying to dominate the screen
opinion is down to the choice of the individual and if a 'man' would like to comment then he is within his rights to do so - infact its insightful when we can hear how men see the matter in their eyes from a mans point of view after-all closer magazine is unisex and isnt tagedted to one type
i dont wish to pursue the argument but your comments are vile, cold and breed on ignorance there are ways to state your point without being nasty
IS THIS BECAUSE EASY TO DO BECAUSE YOU ARE BEHIND A SCREEN FEEL SAFE THAT YOUR IDENTITY IS PROTECTED OR BECAUSE IN REAL LIFE YOU ARE THIS WAY INCLINED - LIKES TO HAVE YOUR OWN WAY,LIKES TO EXERT CONTROL AND DOMINANCE OVER OTHERS- HAS A NARROW-MINDED VIEW AND IS NOT OPEN-MINDED ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT OTHER PEOPLES VIEW MAY BE CORRECT EVEN IF YOU DONT AGREE WITH THEM OR COULD THE REAL REASON BE THAT YOUR JUST AN VERY VERY ANGRY PERSON i.e because you do sound as though you are

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
clarabella i think that we all agree that some comments by Lj88 were not acceptable but they have their view and are entitled to it, what i think angered most was how negative their attitude to persons of larger size-
you have made your point also fair and square and i was in agreement but why the need to bitch back as venemous as Lj88 you absolutely dont do yourself any favours-
there is a way of responding in an dignified manner and to stoop to their level of by retaliating makes you know better then that person- the argument is now bordering on immaturity and is getting quite petty- yes lj888 has a one way track mind but in life no matter what you say you cant change the way a person thinks only the way you think

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
Yeh,i have to agree with you on that onlinebabe,i was just so angry at the comments we (my friends and i) got abit carried away.
It was the personal attacks that sent us abit mad,were bigger (obviously ; ) ) and better than that,the argument is closed now in my eyes.

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
Firstly id like to say to lj888-it dosn't say anywere on this website that men cant have a say,you are a very imature,vile excuse for a woman.
I have to agree with above comments that you arnt worth arguing with,but again i can see why people have,you must live a very sad lonely life to have that attitude.
Hats off to everyone who has slated you!
Why on earth would i want to jump of a cliff or top myself?---Unless i was married to you of cause!!! God forbid!
Get a life woman.

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
its pretty understandble and i credit you for standing your ground clarabella in the face of ugliness- when children are growing up in a world where society focuses on the way you look, starving themselves to be slim because of what the world around them wants them to be rather then allowing them to feel comfortable in the skin their in -
we need more people like yourself that embrace their fuller figure there are many countries and relegions where bigger is beautiful so continue to be strong and positive

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
i have to say a size 16 maybe the uk average but the majority of size 16 woman are slightly over weight however. i would say size 16 isnt a danger to health by any means. overweight people need to lose weight because it is unhealthy for them thats the simple fact. people who say bigger is beautiful im happy being big are not helping themselves or anybody else. a healthy diet and excercise is all anybody needs to get in shape and be healthy. it might take a while but the benefits far outweigh the negatives. im not siziest i think supermodels are way to skinny and i think there shud be a weight limit for being a supermodel (eg, not under x amount of lbs) i just simply saying being overweight is bad for your health. with regards to the article the fashion industry is ruthless they dont care whos dying of anorexia as long as she looks good in a versace gown shes hired. it sickens me.

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
LJ888, i dont understand all this "world" malarchy you keep referring to. As far as i am aware, we all live in one shared world. Your comments are bizarre.
I dont think your comments are intelligent by any means. You come across as childish and immature.
The article we are commenting on, is a model who is dangerously underweight. Anorexia is not something that should be promoted as glamorous, as an anorexic model would suggest. But your comments rally on that only skinny/slender people can be beautiful.
Your wrong.
If the only people you know are of a size 6 or 8, you are missing out on a lot in life. There is more to friendship, or any relationship for that matter, than dress size.
You seem to have very bigated views on gender and size, quite discriminating in fact.
I keep wondering if your comments are some sort of joke, because i cannot imagine knowing anyone who would share your views on beauty.

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
the woman needs help. major help.
in my opinion, its the model industry that has made her this way, there was another story about a girl that was a size 0 and considered too big for the industry,disgusting. the stylists should refuse to put models this thin onto the catwalk. its their fault.

RE: 'I weigh 6st but I'm modelling again'
The media disgusts me-using people like this poor woman to make others feel like they have to conform to that stereotype. Be thin, dye your hair, wear different clothes, whatever you do is wrong, you're not good enough, you're not good enough, look at all these people who are so much prettier and thinner and better than you. Who said that thin is pretty?? It looks pretty ugly to me! That's why I'm an outcast and I where what I frickin' WANT TO wear, and live how I frickin' WANT TO live, thank you very much. And I'm a lot happier than the popular kids my age, the ones who've lost their virginity already and all look like Barbie Doll rejects. I'm 13, and this is what the media does to us. Sorry, I've been waiting to rant to someone for a long time :)
