“I have received emails from young girls who want me to teach them how to be like me,” the 39-year-old told The Sun.
“I’ve received letters from women, mostly in their twenties, who view me as an inspiration of some sort.”
She has therefore taken the courageous decision to advocate against anorexia and talk about her illness, stating that she will not teach young girls how to die.
Valeria, whose eating disorder began when she was a youngster, has decided to talk about how the condition has destroyed her life.
She claims that her anorexia has made her “lonely, unattractive, and repulsive for the people around me,” and she wants to tell her tale to help others avoid suffering the same fate.
