Most people are unhappy with their appearance. Many are embarrassed by excess weight, and in an attempt to get rid of it, we are ready for a lot. The story of this girl is not like the others. She was nicknamed "the scariest girl". But this nickname is not only very offensive, but also undeserved.
Unusual girl
Seeing Lizzy Velasquez on the street, most people think that this young American has brought herself to diets and probably suffers from anorexia. On the Internet, her photos can be seen no less than images of Hollywood stars. Looking at them, you involuntarily think that this is a photoshop. But she did not ask and never wanted such fame. However, the girl is not in the mood for jokes. She is forced to live with a terrible, incurable disease and endure ridicule all her life. The Velasquez family has three children. Fifteen-year-old Marina and twelve-year-old Chris are absolutely he althy.
How it happened
Her life has never been easy. Lizzy was born a month ahead of schedule. She weighed only one kilogram. It immediately became clear that something was wrong with the baby. The doctors didn't give her anychances. They were sure that the most terrible girl would not live even a month. Despite the disappointing forecasts, the child showed a great desire to survive, and he succeeded. By the age of two, Lizzie began to weigh about the weight of a five-month-old baby. It was difficult for her to find clothes, and her parents were forced to buy things in a doll store. But these were the smallest difficulties they had to face. Contrary to the expectations of doctors, the girl learned to speak, walk and do everything that he althy full-fledged children of this age do. Due to a weak immune system, at the age of four, Lizzie became blind in one eye, and the other began to see poorly. At the age of sixteen, the appendix ruptured, as a result of which the girl almost died.
Life today
At 23, the scariest girl in the world (whose photos can frighten an unprepared viewer) looks at least three times older. She regularly undergoes various examinations. However, until now, doctors have not been able to determine her illness. It is only known that this is not anorexia, but some kind of genetic abnormality. Her body uses up energy very quickly. In this regard, Lizzy is forced to eat every 15-20 minutes, that is, up to 60 times a day. Every day she absorbs from 5000 to 8000 calories. To maintain a normal life, she needs to eat nutritious and high-calorie foods. Her menu consists of products such as pizza, chocolate, chips, flour products, hamburgers, ice cream and so on. The scariest girl always carries food with her, and under the bedher whole food warehouse.
Despite this "diet", she does not manage to get better. Throughout the year, the weight fluctuates within one kilogram.
Future
There are only two such cases in the world. This rare disease has similarities with progeria (premature aging). Medicine cannot cure such gene mutations. At the moment, the most terrible girl of the numerous drugs takes only ordinary vitamins. She has he althy teeth, bones and internal organs. According to doctors, she will even be able to get pregnant and give birth to a he althy baby naturally. However, she is unlikely to pass on her illness to her children.
Private life
The scariest girls in the world, like any unusual people, are constantly criticized and ridiculed. And Lizzie Velasquez is no exception. Life has taught her to be strong. To date, she has written several books on how to overcome your complexes, learn to believe in yourself and make real friends. She constantly inspires others to change their lives for the better. Lizzy is a university student and has an active social life.
