Valeria
Levitina is the world’s skinniest anorexic woman. At the age of 39 she
is considered by some a living mummy, due to the fact that she
shockingly has just 25 kilograms. Basically, a fully grown woman has the
weight of a 6-year-old child due to anorexia. If you’re curious to know
what her story is, keep on reading.
Meet
Valeria, a 39-year-old woman who looks like she could be 60 years old…
Her entire body was ruined by a long battle with anorexia. The woman is
172 centimeters tall, but she is so skinny that she only weighs 25 kilos. How did she get in this state? The cruel truth is that she did it to herself.
Back
in 1989, Valeria’s parents decided to move their whole lives in the
United States from Moscow. Valeria was very pretty when before she lost
so much weight, and since she was so full of life and beauty, the girl
decided to enter a beauty pageant in 1994 and pursue a modeling career.
That was the beginning of the end for her… Valeria admitted that the
“Miss Chicago” title was the trigger of her self-dependent starvation.
When
she was just 19 Valeria had already lost a lot of weight but still
looked very feminine, at 23 Valeria was beginning to look slim and by
the age of 24, Valeria Levitina weighed around 38 kilograms.
Valeria
now lives alone in Monaco where she gets a lot of the much-needed
sunshine her body requires. She can barely feel the taste of food, and
going shopping is a terrible ordeal. She needs to know the exact amount
of carbs, proteins and fats in the products she buys.
Even though she no
longer has an eating disorder, Valeria is still not able to gain
weight.
The
poor girl barely has enough energy to study and do her daily chores.
The entire eating disorder has its roots in the girl’s childhood, when
her mother used to weigh her constantly and be worried about her weight.
The mother was concerned about her daughter being fat, since many women
in her family suffered from weight problems…
The
saddest part about the whole situation is the fact that she lost weight
to be more desirable for the ones around her, and all of her weight
loss only brought Valeria loneliness and sadness.
What’s
even more sad, is the fact that Valeria gets hundreds of emails from
girls in their 20s who say that they want to be just like her, and that
she is a source of inspiration for them. In order to make everyone aware
of the fact that it is WRONG to starve yourself to death, Valeria
agreed to have her destroyed body be photographed.
