London Levi On Eating Disorders
America’s Next Top Model contestant, London Levi, spoke with E! Online about her experiences on the show and her surprising weight gain while filming. Most girls on the show lose weight as the weeks go by as they struggle to stay in the competition but London actually gained 15 pounds. She explained,
“When I went to the competition, I was recovering from an eating disorder, so my self-confidence was already kind of shaky because of my experience with my problem beforehand. And, I’m pretty sure it did show in my photo shoots.”
London said that she suffered from eating disorders all through junior high and high school up until shortly before starting America’s Next Top Model.
“I never realized how long I’d had it until I talked to someone professionally,” she says. “But it never got supersevere until my senior year in high school, which was actually just this past year. This past year up until right before I went on to the show is when it got most severe.”
On the episode she was eliminated one of the judges, Jay Manuel, pulled London aside and asked her why she was gaining weight because he was shocked to see how she gained it so quickly. London responded,
“My body just keeps gaining weight, and it really is freaking me out because I don’t feel comfortable at this weight. Coming into this, I felt a lot more confident, a lot more beautiful, and I just need to lose weight in a healthy way.”
At the end of the interview London explained that she hopes to continue modeling even though she was eliminated but she hopes to someday become a youth minister.
