She writes: "Anorexia is a sickness that I do NOT tolerate in my life. Just because I'm a model doesn't mean that I am going to starve myself. I am happy with who and what I am. I don't have low self-esteem to go and starve myself to think that I look good.
"I will say that there are many models who have gone through that hardship and I really feel sorry for them. I love myself for who I am. There is nothing in this world that can change that."
