Helen Gillespie, a British 30-year-old woman, started dieting since she was just 10 years old and has battled anorexia ever since. She starved herself for the past 20 years with terrible consequences. Food deprivation left Helen with the body of an elderly woman with crumbling bones and varicose veins. Because she began depriving herself of food when she was only a child, Helen never developed breasts. She also never had a boyfriend and always lived with her parents. For the past two decades, she spent most of her days in hospitals and was close to death several times. At her lightest, Helen weight 66 pounds!
