Did you know that fashion models are getting smaller and smaller? You don’t say! The latest issue of Plus Model Magazine contains an editorial that juxtaposes photos of voluptuous plus-size model Katya Zharkova with provocative quotes like “Most runway models meet the BMI physical criteria for anorexia.” As with many plus size editorials, she’s naked, perhaps to protest the lack of nice clothing in her size. Click through to creep on sexy pics of Katya and learn some depressing facts.

FYI – the physical criteria for anorexia is a refusal to maintain at least 85% of the expected body weight for your height and shape. So yeah, 15% underweight, along with other criteria = anorexia.
Yeah, there are physical criteria for a diagnosis of anorexia, regardless of mental behaviors. I believe you also have to have one of the accompanying complications, like loss of menstrual period. It’s great to be told that, even though you’re restricting calories to under 800 per day, you’re not skinny enough to be anorexic.
Good to know! Makes sense.
There are more as well, but these cover some of them.
I love the pose in slide number one!
