Twenty-four-year-old Crystal Renn has been a model for years. And, though she loves her life now, there was a time when she starved herself to fit into the Size Zero world of fashion. She sought treatment for anorexia, learned to maintain a healthy weight, and now works as a plus-size model. Despite her success, she still has her bad day.

“She said: ‘Sometimes I spend my days lifting myself up in mind and in body, then I remind myself that I’m a woman like any other and that I’m having a bad day. Then I focus on what I’m happy with – my shiny hair, my eyebrows and the fact that I don’t have a zit!’” [Source: Earth Times]

Focusing on her favorite parts of her body helps Crystal avoid the dangerous habits she’s struggled with early in her career. She hopes others will learn from her example on focus on the good things about their bodies, too.
