Valeria Levitin, 39, suffers from severe anorexia, weighing just 4st 3lbs at 5ft 8in. She developed the disorder as a teenager after years of pressure from her mother to stay thin. Bullied about her weight, she restricted food, hoping to fit in. Her condition worsened when she pursued modeling but was told she was still “too fat.” Despite receiving disturbing fan mail from girls wanting to copy her, she speaks out against anorexia. Struggling with loneliness and health issues, she dreams of recovery and motherhood. Valeria hopes her story warns others about extreme dieting and encourages them to seek help.
