Former Plus-Sized Model Crystal Renn Slims Down: Better or Worse?

Crystal Renn may be the ultimate chameleon. The former-anorexic-turned-successful-plus-sized model has slimmed down and dyed her hair platinum blonde, to the point that she's now almost unrecognizable. "I've been a double-zero, children's clothes, at 95 pounds, and I've been all the way up to a size 16 and everything in between," Crystal Renn told The Daily Mail. "Now I'm a 6, 8, sometimes a 10, depending on what designer I'm wearing."

Some are suspicious of the sudden change, given Renn's frankness about anorexia in her 2009 memoir "Hungry: A Young Model's Story of Appetite, Ambition, and the Ultimate Embrace of Curves." As a plus-sized model at 165 pounds, she landed several lucrative deals and became a well-known name in the industry.

But Renn starting exercising about a year ago, telling People, "I've been doing yoga for a while now. ...I have found a place of stability when it comes to how to view my figure." And she promises there's nothing shady going on. "When this whole weight-loss thing happened, I think that a lot of people wanted to point their finger at somebody," Renn said in a recent interview. "They wanted to find a conspiracy where there absolutely was none." So ... do you think Renn looks better or worse?

    The fact that a big part of her weight loss was a bad break-up bothers me.
    I prefer this picture, personally.

    There is a H in weight and a R in liver....that being said we can make our comments the way we want to and as this is an opinion site, it seems fair and we all don't need to be told we are killers and sick....staying bigger could give her a lot more health problems....heard of diabetes and heart problems and I could go on, so think a little before opening your trap...

    I told you that I'm swedish so it's difficult for me to write in english.
    I say the same to you, think before opening your trap... You are killers, it's because of you people that all these young girls is dying...
    And I can tell you that it's much more common that people who is underweight die than people who is overweight, it's much more dangerous for all internal organs, and I do know very well what I am saying, and I know that it is true cause I'm having anorexia too, and my doctor told me all this... So you are wrong when you are saying that "staying bigger could give her a lot more health problems."
    And I know that this is an opinion site, and I'm not saying that you are not allowed to vote and say what you think, I am just telling you my opinion... And I am telling you what consequenses your opinion leads to...

    Amanda, you're basing this all off emotion and no factual data. Look it all up and from non-biased sources and you will find your answers. More die from obesity than from anorexia or bulimia. We're not talking about undernourishment as in no food avail in a place, we're talking about the choices that people make such as yourself because of their mentality....such as bulimia, anorexia AND obesity.
  • Amanda Theresa... 2013/01/04 17:39:59
    Amanda
    Sorry, I did not mean that there is more people who is dying in anorexia, bulimia and so on than people who is dying because of underweight, it is not like that because overweight is more common, I mean that the procent of people who is dying cause of anorexia is higher than the procent of those who is dying cause of overweight if you look at it over a five year long time... Which means that underweight is more dangerous.
    Do you understand what I am trying to say? I guess that this not correct english, so I understand if you don't...

    I'm sorry, I did not mean that as I said to Theresa, it's just that I got problems with the english, I don't really know how to say what I mean...
    But I tried to explain it on the comment above yours, so maybe you can take a look and see if you understand it?

    How many people die from anorexia each year? Every year over 400,000 people are dying of obesity in America. Maybe you should be just as concerned about obesity and how it effects people as you are about anorexia. Neither are healthy. And I don't know what you're seeing but she doesn't look too skinny in the second photograph and if she is in good health, that is all that matters. What are you trying to accomplish here, make yourself feel better maybe? Sorry but being overweight doesn't look good on anybody.
  • Amanda Stef an... 2013/01/04 23:02:25
    Amanda
    No I agree with you, it's not healthy to be overweight either, but on photo from 2010 she isn't that, she is normal. But from the photo from 2012 she is not, I read her book this week and she is writing there that her ultimate weight is the one she is having on the photo from 2010, which means that she is sick at the photo from 2012, wether you think she looks like that or not she is deadly sick...

    This is a sight that asks what people think. It may not be what everyone likes but...The world is killing us the moment we hit the air(born). It is the choice of the individual to listen to BS and starve themselves. Her photo is not unhealthy. If she looked famished then Id say she looks sick.
  • Amanda YOMOMMA 2013/01/04 23:08:45

    I know that this is a sight that asks what people think, thats why I'm dooing that...
    Well yes, it's an individual choice, but so I admit that it's not only your fault that people is dying starving themselves, but you are not making it easier for those living with the weight they should have saying that they are fat and ugly then...
    And wether you think she looks like that or not she is deadly sick at the pic from 2012, in her book she is writing that her ultimate weight is the one she is having on the pic from 2010...

    She is anorexic again, you don't have to a skeleton to be anorexic, it's all about the thoughts, the unspeakable terrible remorse that you are feeling when you are going down in weigt this kind of way... When you go down in weight even though your body don't want it, so to speak...

    ...she still has curves, but she has them without the fat. One can be curvy and skinny at the same time, curvy does not equal fat. Learn the difference, kitten.

    I am not being mean or anything to your reply but I did not think she was all that fat before she lost weight but I can also agree with your point of view . Over weight does not always equal curvy bodies : )

    I didn't say she was fat before, I said she lost the fat. Everyone has fat in their body, come people more than others. -__-

    Although in that red thing in the picture above she DOES look fat because the red dress doesn't fit her well. That's more a matter of dressing improperly.
  • SilveryRow 2012/04/15 17:56:41

    way too many overweight women (and men) in the US. slimming down is always good if you've got too much to begin with.
