One of the most popular models of the present in the plus-size category, Iskra Lawrence has tried to lose weight to the "standard" parameters, but it did not.

Interview to the American edition of Self

Readers of the magazine will find not only an interesting photo shoot, but also learn about how a girl with a magnificent figure to become successful. So, what does the Spark suggest?
"To begin with, I will tell you a little about how I became so famous. Since childhood, I began to dream that I will be a model, and already at age 13 began to attend castings and different selections. True, honestly, I was always denied because of excess weight. At first I panicked, and then I realized that I had to fight. I began to sit on all sorts of diets and attending active workouts, but all was fruitless. I was very worried. It was then that one of my friends advised me to keep a diary. I began to write down my experiences there and realized that very much depends on how you perceive this or that situation. For example, I began to perceive excess weight as an integral part of myself, constantly saying that such forms make me more feminine and sexual. And then everything in my head developed into simple rules. First, you need to clearly understand who you are going to become. Secondly, only you can criticize yourself about the appearance, as well as decide whether you are beautiful or not. Thirdly, any failure is only a lesson that will make you stronger. Fourth, you never need to compare yourself with other girls. And, finally, fifthly, learn to love, respect and pamper your body. Remember that it is your home for life. Often go to SPA-salons and do massages, except this, eat right. Believe me, your body will be very grateful for this. "
