So Im 20 and female. I am a model for a popular company in my state but I am a little bigger than the rest of the girls. Not by much, I am a sixe 10 and most of the other girls are a size 2 or 4. I can suck in my stomach but my love handles and look skinny but Ive recently gained some big love handles and my butt and thighs are getting bigger and uglier daily. It really sucks being the biggest girl and feeling like the ugliest. I had knee surgery in December because of an accident that happened in August so working out is pretty hard but I do physical therapy and sit ups so thats about all the exercise I can do.
My main focus needs to be my diet, my problem is I am addicted to food. If there is food near by then I will eat it. Especially late at night. I work at a place with the best cheesy fries ever and I cant help but eat them every time I work. Sometimes I try to eat healthy but I still eat more than I should.
I was promoted to team lead in one of the modeling groups, meaning all focus and attention will be on me when it comes to that particular group. Right now we are working on auditions and getting the new teams situated then we will begin modeling again in March. I really want to lose the excess inches and be toned by then. ANY advice will be great. Thanks

I have noticed that recently models are getting fuller and fuller. No one looks like those tiny fashion models in real life. The bigger the better it seems like nowadays. Be proud of your body :)
If you insist, I suppose there is nothing wrong with toning up and eating better. Since you can't excercise, try eating healthier instead of less. Eat four small meals a day.
Egg whites and fruit for breakfast, a healthy sandwich with low fat condiments for lunch, a grilled chicken salad with low fat dressing or vinegar instead for dinner, and granola and yogurt for a snack sometime throughout the day.
It's all about self control. When you see those cheesy fries ask yourself if you are truly hungry. If you are, then go make yourself something healthy to eat. If you aren't, you obviously just want to eat those yummy cheesy fries for the taste. Are they worth it?
When you can excersise, the best thing you can do is jumping rope, treadmill/treadclimber, and lunges for your legs and butt.
