Life Without Body Fat

Lizzie Velásquez was born with an exceptionally uncommon congenital condition known as Marfanoid–Progeroid–Lipodystrophy Syndrome. The most prominent symptom of Lizzie's condition is her inability to accumulate body fat or gain weight. Throughout her life, she has never exceeded 64 pounds, and her body fat percentage remains close to zero.

Regrettably, Lizzie endured relentless bullying and was even subjected to the cruel label of being the "Ugliest Woman in the World." Instead of succumbing to the negativity, Lizzie transformed her experiences into motivation, embarking on a path as a motivational speaker and a strong advocate against cyberbullying.
