Tess Holliday has said she had “no idea” she could be struggling with anorexia before she was diagnosed with the condition, because she was not underweight.
The model told ITV’s Good Morning Britain she is now “healthier and happier” than ever before after dealing with the condition.
However she said she previously wanted a “badge of honour that I was this person in a larger body not eating”. I was confused.

A model admits to an eating disorder; call it an unexpected turn.
In 2015, LA-based Tess Holliday announced she’d been signed to a major modeling agency.
At the time, it was big news: the 29-year-old was a plus-size model.
She was hailed in media as a strong woman and defiant of outdated ideas of beauty.
Tess has taken full advantage of her 19,000 followers on Twitter and 375,000 followers on Instagram, by spearheading and regularly celebrating the hashtag #effyourbeautystandards (which also have its own Instagram page). Tess often posts images of herself alongside positive messages focused around body image. Underneath a recent snap of her in lingerie she writes, “I hope this makes you realize that it’s okay to be yourself, even if you happen to exist in a fat body.”
