They were afraid to get fat: 9 stars who were ruined by anorexia

Eating disorders are very serious psychological problems. Against its background, a person has a change in attitude to food, which, instead of ensuring the work of all body systems, becomes enemy number one or, conversely, the only way to enjoy life.

Anorexia is one of the most serious eating disorders. The exhaustion that constant hunger strikes lead to seriously affects the ability to live a normal life. And some girls paid dearly for being fanatically trying to lose weight. This is what happened to celebrities who suffered from anorexia.

1. Karen Carpenter

The American singer was very famous in the 70s of the last century. Together with her brother, she performed as part of the musical group Carpenters, and then solo. On a tour around the world, Karen leaned on high-calorie foods and gained a lot of weight. To get back in shape, the girl almost stopped eating, and in six months she reached the mark of 40 kilograms. And this is with a height of more than 170 centimeters. Their relatives panicked and sent her to be treated for anorexia in a clinic. She managed to recover, but after anorexia came bulimia. As a result, the singer's heart could not stand such tests, and she died.

2. Christina Heinrich

The fate of a talented and promising athlete turned out to be unenviable. Christina Heinrich showed great promise in rhythmic gymnastics. They planned to send her to the Olympic Games, but as a result of growing up, she somehow imperceptibly gained a few extra pounds. In an effort to get rid of them, the girl almost stopped eating, which ended in anorexia. And Christina could not cope with her - she died at the age of 22.

3. Mary-Kate Olsen

The Olsen sisters have been getting a lot of negative feedback about their looks lately. Not only have they badly ruined their face with plastic surgery, but they are also very thin, which is very similar to anorexia. Mary-Kate has already entered the clinic with a weight of 35 kilograms. The doctors said that a little more, and it would be too late to save.

4. Carla Alvarez

The dream of a Mexican girl to become an actress came true. She gradually, but very purposefully, went to fame, starting with small roles and reaching rather large projects. And she could definitely shine for a long time if she wasn’t afraid to eat so as not to get fat. As a result - anorexia, bulimia, and then death at 41.

5. Isabella Caro

The story of Isabella Caro shocked the world. She was led to anorexia by her mother, who had a negative attitude toward the process of growing up her own daughter. As a result, the girl began to experience serious problems with food - she ate almost nothing. For some time she worked as a model, but there were few people who wanted to accept such a too-thin girl. She became famous on a talk show where she talked about her problem. The treatment did not help much, and as a result, Isabella died at the age of 28 from organ failure.

6. Allegra Versace

The weight of the Allegra Versace reached a critical 32 kilograms. This mark on the scales and the deterioration of the condition led to a long treatment - anorexia led to the fact that Allegra Versace was fed through tubes. For a while, she did not appear in public at all. She has benefited from the treatment, but judging by the way she looks today, there is still a lot of work to be done.

7. Anna Carolina Reston

Already in her teens, the girl became the winner of a beauty contest and signed her first contract as a model. Fame came to her quickly, but a heavy workload led to an eating disorder - she could not eat for several days, because she did not feel like it. The result - was a critically low body weight, liver failure, and death at 22 years old.

8. Leila Pahlavi

The daughter of the Iranian Shah who fled from Iran to the United States became a model in her new place of residence, but the lifestyle that reigned in the new culture was hard for her - the girl began to take drugs. She recovered from this, but a prolonged depression began, which Leila drowned out with depressants. As a result, problems with food began - either overeating or not eating for days on end. This resulted in death.

9. Eliana Ramos

Sister Luisel also died of anorexia - her heart could not stand the work in such extreme conditions. She was only 18 years old.
