Plus Model Dreams - Jennifer
After winning a modeling contest at age 16, Jennifer spent 4 years strutting the catwalk and doing photo shoots. Her mom was thrilled to see her modeling but her dad wanted her to go to university. Torn between pleasing both parents, Jennifer made a decision to “get fat” so that modeling was no longer an option. Ten years on, Jennifer is still carrying the weight and her health is suffering.
Her relationship with her boyfriend, Craig, is getting increasingly difficult. He doesn’t tell her she is beautiful and isn’t physically affectionate. Jennifer is convinced that this is because he is attached to the idea of the slim girl she used to be, even though he never knew her back then. Craig openly admits that he’d prefer to be in a relationship with a slim person.
Jennifer wants to model again, but as a plus-size model this time, which means dropping several dress sizes. At age 31, she really needs to do this now or miss her chance forever. This means that she’ll have to eat healthier at home, ditch the daily high-calorie breakfast that she grabs on the way to work, and stop the frequent pizza and cocktail nights with the girls.
