Valeria Levitin, originally from Russia and currently
residing in Monaco, reveals a concerning trend:
receiving fan mail from girls eager to emulate her
skeletal appearance.

The 39-year-old, speaking to The Sun, discloses, ”
nave received emails from young girls who want me
to teach them how to be like me. All the letters l’ve
had are from women, mainly in their twenties, who
see me as some kind of inspiration.”

In response, she courageously addresses her
condition, actively campaigning against anorexia.
Valeria Levitin asserts her stance, refusing to
provide instruction on a path she describes as
eading young girls toward self-destruction.

Valeria, who grappled with an eating disorder since
adolescence, has decided to publicly address the
profound impact the illness has had on her life.
Expressing a desire to share her journey, she aims
to discourage others from succumbing to a similar
fate. Valeria Levitin emphasizes that anorexia has
left her feeling “lonely, unattractive, and repulsive
to the people around me.”
Her conviction traces back to her mother’s
apprehension that Valeria could develop obesity
akin to other family members. This led to dietary
restrictions even during her early childhood.

Valeria’s mother, driven by an unrelenting pursuit
of perfection, frequently monitored her daughter’s
weight to ensure no gains.

At the age of 16, weighing 10st, Valeria relocated to
Chicago with her parents. Eager to assimilate into a
new school environment, she believed shedding
pounds would secure acceptance and popularity.
n her quest to fit in, she intensified her dietary
restrictions, eliminating sugar and carbohydrates
from her meals.
Ironically, having abstained from certain foods for
an extended period, Valeria’s body has become
intolerant to them, rendering them challenging to
process. Following a hurtful comment about her
figure from a classmate, Valeria’s determination to
lose weight intensified even further
She recounted a painful incident, sharing, “We were
playing football and during the game, a man said, ‘1
know how we can win. We need to put Valeria’s big
ar*e in the goal’. It shattered my whole world.”
At the age of 23, Valeria’s dress size drastically
dropped from a healthy size 12 to a petite size 6.

The necessity to avoid many foods persists due to
their adverse effects on her body. So extended is
her abstinence from bread that she can’t recall its
taste.
Her affliction has cast a shadow of loneliness over
her life. Unattached for ten years, the world’s
thinnest woman finds relationships challenging,
unable to partake in typical couple activities like
dining out.
