This is exactly why I stopped doing runway. The weight and size requirements are insane and unhealthy. I’m 5′10″ and being 120 is way too thin. When I was 120 in the Air Force, I was told my BMI was around 17 and that was underweight. I gained ten pounds in basic training and came out at 130. I’m a size 6 now and when I did shows I was usually the heaviest one (which is crazy). I’m nowhere near fat but the industry is filled with unhealthy and sometimes unattainable views. This just sends the wrong message to women that if this model is considered overweight at her height and weight, then regular women surely must be obese and that’s just not right….
