We kind of find it hard to believe that Imogen Thomas has body issues. Most women would die for a figure like hers and she has never seemed short of confidence, but looks can be deceiving as she recently revealed:
“People think I’m confident with my body, but I’m not. I’m pushing a size 12, which I know isn’t fat, but it’s more about how I feel about it. I think I’ve got fat hips and I’ve never really been happy with my body. I’ve become obsessed.”
She added, “People say I’m silly for complaining about my body, but they’re not in my head. I posted a photo on Twitter of me in my underwear, saying I’d gained weight over Christmas and couldn’t wait to lose it. Boy, did I get slated!
“Everyone said I was attention-seeking and sending out the wrong message to young girls because I already had a slim figure. I didn’t mean to upset anyone and I apologise if I made anyone angry. I know I’ve got body issues.”
Blimey, chill out love, have a biscuit. Actually, we shouldn’t joke, this is a serious subject.
She concluded, “I feel like I’ve been on a diet all my life. People say I’ve got a great body, but I’m stuck in binge-diet hell.”
