Glamour Magazine just posted a interview with Crystal Renn, in response to all the feedback they have been getting from their viewers about where Crystal curves have gone.

“You have three very thin beautiful famous women on your cover…Shame, shame, shame,” posted one commenter. Another assumed we’d photoshopped her to look smaller. (For the record: NO.) And a blogger asked: “When will fashion magazines realize that these are not ‘real women’?”

I am just pleased that magazines are featuring girls who have a healthy understanding of their body, and Crystal does that perfectly regardless of what size she is.  She is an ideal example of the struggles the most women experience and the continued struggle she goes through personally to achieve what works for her. So lets look at her for the impact that she is having on creating discussion of body awareness, forget the size.

Like Crystal I too am working on redefining my relationship with “working out” and I personally like knowing that I am not the only one who has this struggle. I am pretty sure I am real too, I just pinched myself to make sure.

“When it comes to my weight, I understand the public’s confusion,” she emailed me last night. “Like all women, I fluctuate. Especially considering I had just come back from a 3 week backpacking trip in Patagonia. In the past I have been quite open about the fact that I haven’t started an exercise regimen since having the eating disorder because of the uncomfortable feelings associated with it. However, because I am in such a good place with my body and mind I have been reintroducing it back into my life through adventure travel, and plan to continue this in the future. – From Glamour.com
