If you are a model, the gig of your dreams would have to be Victoria’s Secret.  Kylie Bisutti won a VS model search in 2009.  But recently Kylie Bisutti quit.

On Good Morning America Bisutti said, “I just became so convinced of honoring the Lord and my body and wanting to be a role model for other women out there who look up to me.”

She went on to say, “I was growing in my relationship with the Lord and my faith. I’m a strong believing Christian. It was more of just a heart issue for me.”

She was married recently and said that she wanted to keep her marriage special, but her husband did not influence her decision although he was supportive.

“I’m so thankful that he let me grow and let me come to this decision on my own.”

There were other factors that helped her make this decision.

“I was doing my makeup in the mirror one day and she was watching me.  She looked at me and was like, ‘You know, I think I want to stop eating so I can look like you.’

“It just broke my heart because she looks up to me and I didn’t want to be that type of person that she thought she had to do that to be beautiful,” she said. “Thousands of girls that think that being beautiful is an outer issue and really it’s a heart issue.”
