This afternoon before blogging about Healthy Is The New Skinny campaign, I told Coco Rocha about it first on her Facebook page and here’s her say.
If you can’t read the text clearly, here it is:
Me: You heard about this campaign already? You were the first person that came into my mind. I’m glad the campaigns are starting already and maybe by 2012, there will be a lot. You started this since you know when and you deeply inspired a lot already. I’m glad others are following it, too. I’m not thinking of going back to being skinny skinny again. I think this body is enough coz it’s what’s healthy. In 2009 and 2010, I was inspired by models to appear thin because I keep on thinking that there’s something wrong with my body. Then I noticed the changes with my face. It looked dry and it’s as if I’m always sleepy. Even my mom told me that I don’t look good anymore. My friends asked me what happened to my body. It goes to show how much influence models have over the teenagers. I’m 20 now and I know the right thing to do. You have inspired me, you inspired all of us. HEALTHY IS THE NEW SKINNY, yes!
Coco: I love this campaign and fully support what teenvogue is doing. Thank you also for telling me your story Rosary! I am so happy you’re in a good and healthy place in your life. Its up to each of us to pass on the message to our friends and sisters. Xx Coco
