She isn’t trying to lose weight. Tess’s fat brain just saw “eat” and “calories”, didn’t read the rest of the message and assumed it was also from a brave anorexic like her
She’s not trying to lose weight, just trying to project the
image that she’s trying to lose weight, so companies will call her back and give her work.
For years she’s been hearing from well-meaning industry sources, “you have to stop gaining, start working out and get back to the size 28 you keep claiming to be, or you won’t get any more work.”
Tess doesn’t understand and thinks SAYING you’re working out is what the fashion companies want to hear, and is just as good as actually working out and getting back to the size she claims she is. She probably thinks the clothing companies are being stubborn bastards for holding out and not falling for her Pretendilates and rushing back with model contracts.
Meanwhile no one will touch her because, on top of being too old to model and too nasty a person, she’s visibly bigger than ever and still gaining.
I always enjoy when people who think SAYING you’re doing a thing, going to do a thing, or thinking about doing a thing, and assuming that’s just as good as actually doing it, get slapped in the face with the world’s demands for actual tangible results.
