I was going through the CNN news site yesterday and I stumbled upon this story about the Australian plus-sized supermodel Robyn Lawley. I really liked her story and wanted to share it on this website.

Apparently she is 23 years old (as of this time), has a size 12 curvy body, and stands 6 feet 2 inches tall. A modern Amazon beauty. She has broken new ground in the fashion and modeling industry by being th first plus sized model to quote …”spearhead a campaign for high end fashion designer Ralph Lauren”. It turns out the average size of the American women is size 12.

She started modeling at 16 and had trouble keeping up with the modeling industries standards for thinness. By 19 she was becoming big and got into a modeling company which I can’t even pronounce. She did indeed have her own issues with eating disorders for a short while but came back to learn to love food again and regained the confidence. It appears even the best of us suffer from some form of body dysmorphia.

Here is her interview on ABC’s Good Morning America below

Now here is Robyn giving her personal inspiring story for an Australian News station.
