Most people are dissatisfied with their appearance.Many are embarrassed by excess weight, and in an effort to get rid of it we are ready for much. The story of this girl is not like the others. She was nicknamed "the most terrible girl". But this nickname is not only very offensive, but also undeserved.
Seeing Lizzie Velasquez on the street, the majoritythinks that this young American woman has brought herself to diets and probably suffers from anorexia. On the Internet, her photo can be seen no less than images of Hollywood stars. Looking at them, one can not help thinking that this is a photoshop. But she did not ask and never wanted such fame. However, the girl is not up to jokes. She is forced to live with a terrible, incurable disease and endure ridicule all her life. There are three children in the family of Velasquez. Fifteen-year-old Marina and twelve-year-old Chris are absolutely healthy.
Her life has never been simple.Lizzie was born a month before the due date. She only hung one kilogram. It immediately became clear that something was wrong with the baby. The doctors did not give her any chance. They were sure that the most terrible girl would not live a month. Despite disappointing forecasts, the child showed a great desire to survive, and this he did. By the age of two, Lizzie began to weigh about like a five-month-old child. It was difficult for her to choose clothes, and her parents were forced to buy things in the dolls' 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 the same as healthy full-fledged children of this age. Because of a weak immune system in four years, Lizzie was blinded by one eye, and the second began to see badly. At the age of sixteen there was a rupture of the appendix, as a result of which the girl nearly died.
At 23, the most terrible girl in the world (photowhich can frighten the unprepared viewer) looks at least three times older. She regularly undergoes a variety of examinations. However, until now doctors have not been able to determine her illness. It is known only that it is not anorexia, but some kind of genetic deviation. Her body consumes energy very quickly. In this regard, Lizzie is forced to eat every 15-20 minutes, that is, up to 60 times a day. Daily it absorbs from 5000 to 8000 calories. To maintain normal life, it is necessary to eat nutritious and high-calorie food. Her menu consists of products such as pizza, chocolate, chips, flour products, hamburgers, ice cream and so on. The most terrible girl always carries food with her, and under her bed she has a whole food store.
There are only two such cases in the world.This rare disease has similarities with progeria (premature aging). Such gene mutations can not be cured by medicine. At the moment the most terrible girl from numerous preparations accepts only usual vitamins. She has healthy teeth, bones and internal organs. According to doctors, she will even be able to conceive and give birth to a healthy child naturally. It is unlikely that she will pass her illness on to the children.
The most terrible girls in the world, like any unusualpeople, 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 her complexes, learn to believe in yourself and make real friends. She constantly inspires others to change life for the better. Lizzie studies at the university and leads an active social life.
