Valeria Levitin, a 39-year-old woman from Monaco, is widely known as the world’s thinnest woman, weighing only four stone. Her extremely thin body has become a powerful warning about the dangers of eating disorders. Disturbingly, she has received letters from young girls who admire her appearance and want to look like her. Valeria strongly rejects this attention, saying: **“I’m not going to teach young girls how to die.”**

Her struggle with anorexia began when she was a teenager. According to her story, her mother was very concerned about her weight and often pushed her to be thinner. When Valeria moved to Chicago at the age of 16, she started following an extreme diet in the hope of fitting in with others. This decision marked the beginning of a long and dangerous battle with anorexia.

Later, Valeria tried to build a career as a model. However, she was repeatedly told that she was still too heavy for the industry. The constant pressure to lose more weight worsened her condition. By the age of 24, she weighed only six stone and her health had become so fragile that she was banned from dancing because doctors feared she could seriously injure herself.

Today, the consequences of her illness are severe. Her body is so weakened that she says she can no longer even remember the taste of bread. Despite these difficulties, Valeria wants to recover and rebuild her life. One of her biggest dreams is to become a mother, which motivates her to fight the disorder.

Valeria now hopes her story will serve as a warning to others. She encourages people suffering from eating disorders to seek help and reminds young girls that extreme thinness is not something to admire, but a serious and dangerous illness.
