Like most models, Nolan is very aware of her body at all times. Unfortunately, she was not always happy with this awareness. For example, Emily admits to wearing 16 different sizes of clothing during her modeling career. Even when she was skinny, she was never satisfied with her weight. She suffered from body dysmorphia and eating disorders for years. However, Nolan wished to send a message to other women that such dissatisfaction with a scale number is unhealthy. To help teach this lesson, Nolan posed for the photographer Victoria Janashvili’s body-positive coffee table book “Curves”.
