It's not the individual saying what they should weigh, no. Having to comply with the industry & some health & safety rules are reasonable.

Things like 'You must take a break when driving long-distance' & 'you mustn't lift more than this weight without lifting machinery'
-
I can see a similar justification for 'You must be a weight that keeps your organs functioning properly when modelling clothes.'
