However, after getting flack from netizens all over the country, the opinionated influencer posted an apology, saying:
“The post was intended for my model friends who like me, despite being of a healthy weight in the past, has previously been unable to secure a modelling job due to the size criteria imposed.”
Yesterday, she took to Instagram to post about her personal experience with these “imposed criterias” and how it affected her definition of what “fat” really was.
“When I used to be in the healthy weight range (48-52kg) and wearing size S, everyone around me told me to exercise and lose weight.”
The model even recalls a time when she was called a “swollen pig” by her own director for being within that healthy range.
“Once, the director read my playback and shouted loudly at the staff to not give me any food because I looked swollen like a pig. He deleted all of the takes we took that day.”
“After that point, my agent had to supervise my diet every day and I started going to the gym.”

The influencer says she was strongly discriminated against at work because she “wasn’t thin enough” and her thoughts on what a “healthy weight” was became blurred in the process.
Nonetheless, the model says that it takes “extreme willpower and mentality to lose weight”, admitting that she herself had to “eat chicken breasts every day for six months.”
She goes on to say that, weight loss varies for different body types:

“It may be very quick for a fat man to lose 20 pounds, but it is really difficult for a thin person to lose weight… Boys can lose fat quickly but it’s harder for girls because of our physiques, especially after the age of 25, to lose weight is really hell.”
Now that you know her story, what do you think?
