The female Peter Pan: How a woman of 23 terrified of growing up has taken to extreme dieting to give her the body of a 12-year-old
Quote:
Like a female Peter Pan, this 23-year-old woman is so terrified of ageing she has chosen not to grow up.
Vikki Hensley has frozen her body in time to that of a 12-year-old girl through extreme dieting.
As the science graduate became anorexic before she hit puberty, she has never had a period, needed to wear a bra or had a proper boyfriend.
To stop herself growing 'older' she sticks to a diet of less than 1,000 calories a day - a regime that has stunted her height to 5ft 2in and keeps her weight at 5 1/2 stones.
The dieting has come terrifyingly close to costing Miss Hensley her life.
But she insists she has a strange feeling of pride about her looks - and has no plans to change her lifestyle.
Omg what happen to this ppl, why do they do such a stupid things??? I'm thin and I wanna gain wieght and I barely do it and they try to be thinner, they stupid as hell
I am sorry but she is very weird! Now I am 16 going to be 17 this year I am at the point that I don't like growing up fast and wishing I didnt wish it so much when I was little. Now I regret i wished my life away so much since its gone to quick! I am just living my life now. I want 09 to go slow for me( even though my fav artist is releasing her sopomore album at the end of the year.) This is just a phase I know. Now looking back I think I should of enjoyed them great moments of my childhood more. This girl should just accept like the rest of us growing up apart of life. She won't have to worry about growing up the way she is killing herself now!
