. “No matter what, I want to be a role model,” Thompson, 20, told PEOPLE at a New York City viewing of the season finale. “I hear my 13-year-old cousins say, ‘I’m so fat.’ But they’re perfect. They’re beautiful. And they’re too young to think like that.” Whitney Thompson says getting to the top wasn’t easy for her who is a size 8 to 10.“Right before I left for the show, one of my best friends said to me, ‘You’re not going to go that far. You’re fat,’” Thompson told reporters at the event, noting that the two are no longer friends. “Every week I would remember her saying that. And every week I was like, ‘In your face!’” “Already, I have received fan mail from people — boys and girls — from all over the world, telling me how much they admire me for just standing up and saying that I have a body,” says Thompson. Thompson won a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl, a deal with Elite Model Management, and a cover story with Seventeen. Good for you Whitney one thing I’m a firm believer of is never give up on your dreams. I don’t care what people say to you, I don’t care how you look, what the odds are, if it’s something in life you want to do, then do it. Work hard and do what you got to do to get it done. This is just a perfect example that dreams do come true, with a little hard work and determination you can conquer anything in life.

It’s about time America Start realizing that Amercia is Fat. We are the fatest country in the world. Maybe if McDonalds wasn’t at every stoplight in the country, we wouldn’t have that problem. Until Amercia change that, we are all fat
