Crystal Renn herself has spoken out, saying that she wants people to "feel reassured that I am taking care of myself and am very happy. I am a size 10. My weight loss is due to body adjustment because of getting back to a fitness exercise program after a seven-year hiatus.” As for what started the weight loss: "It started with stress. Then, to take care of the stress, I turned to fitness exercise. I did cardio exercise by hiking in Patagonia for three weeks. Since then, I have continued my cardio exercise by hiking and have established a regular yoga exercise and meditation program.” She told Glamour: "It took me seven years to be ready to go back to the gym because I took to extremes my fitness exercise program during my eating disorder.”

Crystal Renn also told Glamour that there was absolutely no a pressure for her to lose weight: "In fact, I recently [saw] Karl Lagerfeld, and he said, ‘Did you lose weight since my show? Don’t you undergo a weight loss!’ And I remember thinking, ‘I’ve actually gained an inch; must be the outfit! But no, don’t worry, I won’t undergo another unhealthy weight loss program.’ And Carine Roitfeld, editor of Vogue Paris also said to me, ‘Don’t lose weight. You’re very beautiful just how you are.’ That support means so much to me.”
