Michael began to see a dietician to deal with her weight and eating disorders, as well as bulimia nervosa. "I've had a lot of girls come up to me to say 'Thank you,' and that makes me feel good" in Michael's February 2009 issue of Teen Vogue. She also said that she was not alone in her weight struggles, and that many models starve themselves. Ali then returned to Texas to complete her training.
