A Russian girl suffering from anorexia weighed a mere 33 kg, but her once skeletal body has undergone a remarkable transformation since taking up body-building.

Now aged 18, Vera Schulz was suffering from anorexia three years ago and became so skinny that her weight dropped to only 33kg. She used to pant just walking up stairs, and often felt dizzy; she was also losing hair because of malnutrition.

 

Fortunately, she began taking up body building, and has now developed into a curvaceous body sporting muscles. At the same time, she has also learned how to look after her health and well being. As she has maintained a balanced diet, her body weight has steadily risen to 60 kg.

Now working as a body building trainer, she is keen to share her experience with others, and to help her clients gain self-confidence. She has posted her pre- and post-illness photos online to encourage others to look after their body.
