I Can't Put On Weight!

Lizzie Velasquez weighs just 4 stone but she'll be the first to tell you she's not anorexic. Lizzie, 21, has a rare and undiagnosed syndrome that prevents her from putting on weight. Despite the fact she eats high calorie food every 15-20 minutes she remains the same weight as the average 8-year-old. Doctors are still unsure what condition Lizzie may have but they have found two similar cases, one in the UK and one in the US. Despite some medical problems Lizzie leads a full and active life. She goes to university in Texas and hopes to become an motivational speaker.
