She is called the ugliest woman in the world because she suffers from a rare disease

 

Miss Velasquez, from Austin, Texas, was born without adipose tissue – Meaning   she has no body fat and, despite eating up to 60 small meals a day, remains at a delicate 4.4stone (58lbs).

She has been ridiculed, stared at in the street and called ‘the world’s ugliest woman’ by insensitive cyber bullies.

But, after years of misery and self doubt, Lizzie Velasquez says she can finally shrug off the hurtful comments about her looks as ‘just words’.

The rare condition still baffles doctors and is thought to affect just two other people worldwide.

Miss Velazquez has now written a Second Book  about her struggle to be accepted and hopes it will help others in a similar Position.
