When we talk about weight issues, we're usually referring to people who have too much weight, and want to lose the excess. Some people have the opposite problem, though. Anorexia - an acute form of body dysmorphia - forces some people to believe they're overweight even when they're dangerously thin. If the condition isn't successfully treated, it can lead to long-term health conditions, and even death.
Fortunately, this woman got the help she needed in the nick of time, and she's now on her way to recovery. At her lightest, she weighed only 60 pounds, and doctors feared for her future. She's now up to 90 pounds, and she's finally beginning to see how beautiful she is. She still has work to do, but she's no longer in danger. The ideal body type isn't 'thin,' it's 'healthy,' and she's on her way to reaching that goal.
