This is Katie Green, a size 12 British model. Katie has organised a petition to stop the pressure on young girls to be skinny, by ensuring that all models should have a health check and if the results show these girls have a BMI of under 18.5, (underweight) they should not be allowed on the catwalk. It is ridiculous the pressure young girls face to be thin, and on her website Katie has said how she sympathises with young girls, especially healthy young girls and knows how they can be made to feel. Katie was asked to lose two stone for a modelling contract and thought enough is enough and has now began a petition to ensure that all models should be a healthy weight before being put on posters on every billboard and in every magazine.
If any of you actually ever read any of my posts, you will know that this is something I, like Katie, feel very strongly about. Eating disorders and giving into pressure are not worth anything and you definitely don’t get anything from them, either. Please click the picture and sign this petition for all the healthy, normal girls out there who feel the pressure to be thin, it only takes a second to do and if I’m honest, you will be doing them all a favour.
