The agency initially wrote the following to the 5'11 model:

"We agreed that you would come by us every two weeks for an evaluation, how it's going with your diet and exercise and losing weight. We're going to keep measuring you. Today, March 23 2010, we measured your hips at 98 centimeters. This is a reminder! The goal is that you have a hip circumference of no more than 90 centimeters at the end of June."

Yes, that's right, starve yourself to be even skinnier than the ridiculously small size you already are! That's 35 inches, not of waist circumference, but HIP circumference, people. Insanity.
