Cotton Balls and Different Forms of Drugs : Thin Models' Secret

People are always trying to go after the trend and always worry for what others would say about them. They always go for the things that are acceptable for the public and weight is the most popular one. Some people find it hard to go on a diet or basically, they don't have enough conception about it at all. They go over it, no eating for the whole day, limiting their intake of food and they starve themselves to death without knowing that there is a health risk. And so, our society have high standards in fashion models, for they are expected to be skinny and thin ever since.  



As I was researching about Fashion Models, I saw an article about their ways on how to stay thin and it is entitled From cocaine to eating cotton wool balls, how models stay thin. It was revealed in the article that most of the models take some pills, cigarettes and different kinds of drugs to restrain their appetite and hold off hunger for them to maintain their required body figure as models.


As what Bibby Sowray, the author of the article, stated "I've heard stories that some modelling agents encourage girls to do speed and cocaine in order to speed up metabolism and eat less." Most of the model agencies still find thin girls as potential models that have the  standard and appropriate body figure . But risking your health for the sake of staying thin and acceptance in the society and fashion industry? Well if you do it, you're insane. But that's only my opinion.

HCG or known as Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is an injection with a 500 calorie diet plan, and T3 thyroid injections are just some of the things that models inject for weight loss. But using such, has negative effects on our body as per warning of the health experts. And even cotton balls were eaten by models for the filling of their stomach and not to feel hunger.


If in case, because of your passion, you are required to do something that is sacrificial, will you still consider doing it or would you rather set it aside?  Think of it.
