Hungry by Crystal Renn

The Featured Book of the Day is Hungry written by top plus-size model Crystal Renn and Marjorie Ingall. Crystal Renn explores her past in this memoir about body image and growing up in front of the camera. At 14, she was recruited and told she could become a famous model. All she had to do was lose 10 inches off her waist.

After she lost 70 pounds, she moved to New York and began modeling around the world. She developed anorexia and bulimia and frequently had health issues, such as heart palpitations and fainting spells. When her body could no longer stay at a size zero, Crystal took a long hard look at her life and decided to become healthy. She returned to her natural size, a size 12, and became an even bigger success in the industry. She has shattered industry beliefs and is now happy, healthy, and doing what she loves.
