Teen Refused To Eat For A Week Just To Be Popular At School Hours Away From DEATH

Elle Lietzow, then 17, was eager to be popular in school under the delusion that starving will make her thin and look sexy. She refused to eat nor drink water.
After a week of fasting she collapsed with a seizure and was rushed to hospital, where horrified doctors and nurses were surprise she was still breathing.
Her toes and fingers had lost their circulation and her nails became brittle, black and snapped easily.
Her long blonde hair was falling out in clumps, her periods had stopped and she became so emaciated her hips and ribs jutted out from under her skin.

PICS:

Elle Lietzow, pictured aged 17, refused to let even a drop of water touch her lips At the height of her struggle with anorexia, her weight plummeted to under five-and-a-half stone

By the time she was hospitalised, her long blonde hair was falling out in clumps, her periods had stopped and had became so emaciated her hips and ribs jutted out from under her skin

Her toes and fingers had lost their circulation And her nails became brittle, black and snapped easily

In hospital, Miss Lietzow was told her liver and kidneys had gone into failure Her body mass index - BMI - was also extremely low. The healthy range is between 18.5 and 24.9 just hers was just 12

Message from Lietzow 'she said, for those suffering with anorexia at the moment is that only you can save yourself. You have to make the change to choose life'

Before she was hospitalised, she awoke lying on the bathroom tiles with shards of glass and water around her - and it was then she realised she needed help Now a healthy weight (right), Miss Lietzow said:  'A message I have for those suffering with anorexia at the moment is that only you can save yourself. You have to make the change to choose life'
