I was born with severe scoliosis and a heart condition. I didn't grow very well when I was young. When I was 22 months old, the doctor fused my spine, and this prevented my torso from growing, but it also stopped me from getting even more crooked.
I never thought about my weight at all until I was 18. I went to live with a host family in the US and the mother wouldn't go food shopping and if she found food in the house she threw it out. I was hungry a lot and noticed my weight going down, before I returned home my weight had gone down to 98lbs.
