Lizzie was just 17 when she
discovered a YouTube video naming her as the "world's ugliest woman"
– watched by more than four million people across the globe.
The shock left her devastated and
crying herself to sleep for nights on end. Users cruelly commented that she was
a "freak" and should have been "put down" at birth.
The brave Texan suffers from a
condition so rare only TWO other people in the world are known to have it. Watch Video Below...
She is unable to gain any body fat and is completely blind in one eye, partially blind in the other.
Lizzie has never weighed more
than 64 pounds – though she consumes at least 5,000 calories every day.
But Lizzie didn't let the bullies
beat her – she now has a quarter of a million followers on her own YouTube and
gives motivational speeches around the world.
The happy-go-lucky 26-year-old is
now the subject of a new film, "The Lizzie Project", to be shown at
US film festival South by Southwest.
