Sarah Thomas

Post-modelling life

In late 1998, she left the international catwalk scene full-time to focus on advertising and photography. Pressure to keep her weight low and an irregular diet of food from hotels and in-flights made her unwell. With an interest in food and aptitude in science, in 2000, she began a three-year diploma course at London's UK College of Nutrition and Health in order to begin a career as a nutritionist, and found a job working as a nutrition advisor in the health department of a department store. Thomas wrote a food column and represented her career in modelling as less important than it was.
