 If he didn't want to be with you, he wouldn't be. If he can attract supermodels, but chooses you, doesn't that show you how much he loves you??
You are going to push him away and destroy your own relationship if you carry on down this road, you need to realise this before it's too late.
Just relax, he's obviously with you for a reason, just remember that.
(Also, don't forget, you can change your physique, so I'm sorry but you can't use that as an excuse)

I can understand your insecurity. I used to be so unhappy about the way I looked I postponed sex and relationships for a long time, believing no-one would accept me for who I was. That was a load of crap of course, but I think it was good for me to wait on embarking on relationships because I would have been a chore to be with. I'd need to be constantly reassured and that gets tedious very quickly.
Also, looks really aren't anything. His model ex gf's looks certainly didn't carry her far enough because they wouldn't have broken up otherwise. There's a reason he picked you, OP. If he wanted another mannequin, he could have probably gotten one, but he didn't. He chose you. That means something about you rocks his world, something his ex doesn't have. Don't mess this up with your insecurities, because they're all your own. He likes you the way you are, obviously.
If you really hate the way you look, do something about it. Pick up a programme like p90x (can be downloaded for free on torrentsites) start eating well and watch yourself change into what you want to look like. All it takes is dedication, so dedicate this to yourself (not your boyfriend.) Once you start getting more confident and being more at peace with who you are and what you look like, it'll be load off your shoulders. But remember, your boyfriend already loves you exactly as you are.

 The thing is everyone has their own insecurities, but taking it out on him is not the way, if he had an ex who is or was a supermodel, is just skin deep - he may have loved the idea but have you thought he maynot of enjoyed the attention she received off other men? also alot infact 90% of men see supermodels as not real - and i always go by this saying "Bones are for the dog, meat is for the Man" (as im a bigger lady too) dont put yourself down, write down your positives, and your positives in your relationship, and also write down the negatives with you and your relationship you will be suprised as when you see it on paper you will see how good (or bad) the relationship is and where you and him need to nurture eachother, relationships have to be worked at and if your fighting or accusing all the time it will never work , trust has to be one of the most fundamental factors. Be strong.

 If his ex is so wonderful...why isn't he still with her?
Ex'x are ex for a reason and if the relationship was over 2 years...it had to be a pretty big reason.
Everything you are worried about can be changed...diet exercise etc but your boyfriend wouldn't be with you unless he liked you so you should stop worrying and enjoy your relationship.
I am pretty sure his folks didn't put him on the planet so he could constantly have to deal with your insecurities and for you to constantly pick on him...if you keep doing that, he will walk and he will be justified.
Stop comparing yourself with his ex...do something positive about your image and try to inject a bit of positive energy into your relationship or it's going to collapse...
it's a self fulfilling prophecy waiting to happen!!
