So when the 27-year-old gained &#8220;half an inch,&#8221; the results were seemingly devastating. According to the former Victoria&#8217;s Secret model, she was &#8220;rejected from a high profile client&#8221; whom she had previously worked for.<\/p>\n<p>But losing a job couldn&#8217;t compare to the effects of her unhealthy diet. Bridget explains in her Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B00zfWGFzix\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">post<\/a> that at this time in her life, she &#8220;hadn&#8217;t had a period in months, and needed to sleep 12 hours a night in order to function.&#8221; Moreover, she reveals her hair was &#8220;falling out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This served as a wake-up call of sorts for Bridget, who shares in a full length <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgetmalcolm.com.au\/blog\/2019\/8\/6\/healthy-modeling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blog<\/a> that she is now more &#8220;strong and happy&#8221; with her body, even though she is not the &#8220;smaller model&#8221; she used to be. &#8220;I can honestly say that I am now free to eat whatever I want, whenever I want,&#8221; she proclaims.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"58.5\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"7\">\n<p>But getting to this point in her life wasn&#8217;t easy. Bridget shares that she took a brief break from modeling, and has only recently returned to work after&nbsp;regaining &#8220;full health.&#8221; However, she was entirely ready to walk away from her passion if companies would no longer accept her new body in a size 4. &#8220;My full health has been a gift beyond my wildest dreams. I never want to lose it again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-4\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"62\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"14\">\n<p>Luckily, the modeling world has evolved into one that she says is more &#8220;loving and kind towards me.&#8221; On shoots, Bridget is welcomed with proper sizing or alterations, with no pressure to lose weight like before. This, she says, is a sign of how brands are encouraging more body-positivity in the industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am honored to be part of the movement towards inclusivity and body acceptance. And the tide is turning,&#8221; she shares. &#8220;I am so grateful for that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tune-in-5\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"33\">\n<p class=\"tune-in__text\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\">Don&#8217;t miss <em>E!
