The Face of Anorexia

Dying to be thin?  This is probably the case for Isabelle Caro who has been well-known for her controversial ad campaign showing her frail and skin-and-bone body to show that face of anorexia and how it can be a life-threatening condition.

Caro said her eating disorder started when she was only 13 years old and blames her troubled childhood and abusive mother as the main cause of her condition.

According to reports, she slipped into a coma in 2006 after her weigh reached as low as 51 lbs. or 23 kg.  But immediately after recovering from her coma, she realized she wants to live and decided to gain weight.

Now, she is receiving intensive psychiatric treatment to treat her anorexia.
