..This is the desperately sad story of the thinnest woman in the world who weighs just four stone after years of extreme dieting.
But rather than feel sorry for herself, Valeria Levitin says her emaciated figure should be a severe wake-up call for girls wanting matchstick-thin figures.
At 5ft 8in, she should weigh between 9st and 12st, according to NHS advice. Instead, she is a tiny 4st 3lbs, less than half of what her lightest healthy weight should be.
Valeria Levitin is a walking skeleton after years of anorexia reduced her weight to just four stone[/b]
Valeria aged 19, on holiday in Mexico. She developed the eating disorder as a teenager and has now chosen to speak out about how the illness has ruined her life What is most worrying is that Valeria, originally from Russia but who now lives in Monaco, says she gets fan mail from girls desperate to copy her skeletal look.
The 39-year-old told The Sun: ‘I have received emails from young girls who want me to teach them how to be like me.
‘All the letters I’ve had are from women, mainly in their twenties, who see me as some kind of inspiration.’
As a result, she has taken the brave step to speak out about her condition and campaign against anorexia – and says she refuses to teach young girls how to die.
Valeria, here aged 11, believes the roots of her condition lie with her mother, who was terrified she would grow up obese like her relatives Valeria, who developed her eating disorder as a teenager, has chosen to speak out about how the illness has ruined her life.
She says she wants to share her story to prevent other people falling victim to the same fate, saying anorexia has made her ‘lonely, unattractive and repulsive for the people around me’.
She believes the roots of her condition lie with her mother, who was terrified Valeria would grow up obese like her relatives. Even as a young child, her diet was curtailed
SmartPolician: The first question you have to ask is, does the person have a legit permit to work in the US?
If you do, you will have a good job and saying they cannot save up to 5m (about $11k) yearly is an insult to them.
@kovic20, how taxes work in the US depends on the government in power. A certain government may decide to tax the rich more and reduce the tax for the middle class. All they need is for the Congress to pass the bill. BTW, everyone pays taxes, including owners of blue-chip companies.
@MrGoood, you are already doing so well in your country. What's the essence of leaving a country that pays you well? You can go on vacation to those countries and return to your base.
Meanwhile, I would like to know the kinda business you do. As long as it's legit, I am game.
As long as it is money, he will go anywhere to make more not minding that he is comfortable and doing well here.
Depends what you do in America. If you work for somebody or company, I don't care if you are a doctor, engineer or lawyer, or mere warehouse worker, your income will be limited by tax even if you live frugally because you have no control of your taxes and you will shed almost 50% in taxes if you make more across taxes (federal, state, property and estate). Lets say you make $150k, government collect almost $75k in taxes across. You are left with $75k, after your house, car, emergency and personal expenses, you re left with $10-20k in the bank every yr. You can live a comfortable life but you will never be wealthy!
Now, if you own your own business, not mom and pop kiosk, I mean real business over $500k in revenue, you will have more control of your taxes. Once you understand how America works, which most Nigerians or black immigrants never understand anyways...just living the American dream blindly( big house and nice cars) and fatally in debt, you will know that America rewards business owners and entrepreneurs. Most Asian immigrants understand this which is why they own their own business and don't work for people!
Any Nigerian you know that is very very wealthy in America, has his/her own big business. These are not small boys and girls, they have over 5 employees (that's over $200k/90million in payroll a year assuming $45k each employee a yr), business location cost $500k-$5million. They rarely pay taxes because their business give them that advantage. Go and read why and how the rich in America pay zero to no taxes...actually government doesn't want you to if you create job, invest or an entrepreneur!
In this Era whereby majority of girls are hoes and good girls are hard to come by and man must Bleep when he wants to, one of the surest things you can do as a man is to date hoes... I mean cooperate ones, you’ll enjoy it gan..
I’ve been dating hoes for years now...Stress free, you don’t even need to call or text, she’ll call you when she’s free or wants to, less spending, nice mind blowing fuckks, and so on..
Sometimes if any of my biiiichs comes around, I do help them to even chat clients on badoo or tinder...One issh about them is hoes tends to fall in love quickly & once I notice feelings is growing, this is what I do...
Why? If she changeable, you can help bring her out of that life and stick with her.
michaelpop50: If you know the amount of setback when dey inside sex, you go see runs girls run oh. Most of them have badluck. Once you start sleeping with them more than once, badluck done start be that.
You will start having disappointments upon disappointments. Look for one girl who is of same complexion with you and pray she doesn't have any spiritual problem.
Normally, sex with the right girl suppose help your income.

Dear Amelian, In the morning of 25th of February around 4am, I saw a thread about Victorian. That name alone made me wish earnestly it wasn't you before I clicked on it. I called the number posted, but a husky voice picked it and broke the heart-wrenching news to me.
You see, life is strange. Some days before I came across that thread, I had a mild yet intense memory about my 100/200 level days when you gave me your bbm pin and we chatted. Strange isn't it? A Nairalander mentioned same too. And the reason why I am writing this to you is because I feel you may hear it.
The first time I chatted you, I didn't believe you were Nigerian. I even thought it was a man using a Chinese picture. I asked for more pictures and you told me to wait till the next day. The next day you sent me pictures of you in a tailoring shop with some girls in the back ground.
I remembered telling you you were beautiful and would love to meet you. I remembered calling you all to no avail but later when I got back in touch with you, you said your Blackberry was stolen. I feel I never tried enough to see you. I feel like I didn't take the chances I had to meet you or maybe academics and life got too heavy on me. I feel maybe if I had met you, you would be perfectly ok.
One thing that was clear about you was being a kind and free soul. A lady who wasn't obsessive about pride. A gentle lady, A lady willing to listen to a voice she'll never meet. But you still listened and talk to me with a smile eventhough I was way younger. After all these years, I remember your smile over the phone more clearly than ever.
Wherever you are right now Do not tarry, do not despair For you are above death and fear. You are above cold and loneliness. May wherever your soul journey, be that of everlasting comfort. And may the powers behind the plane you are right now guide you right.
HelpHelpHelp: Help guys!! I created a new account because I’m fairly popular on NL. I’m a 28 years old single guy, the eldest and the only male child among 4 children. For a while now, I’ve been having this sexual desire towards our last born, she’s just 14 year old in SS3. Maybe it’s not just sexual desire cos she fits all the spec I’ve always want in a woman. She’s tall, dark skin, and has a perfect body shape. I’ve been trying to control myself since, I even go inside and masturbate with the thoughts of her beauty and body. I came out today because I try to do something that I was sure I wouldn’t do. It was her and I alone in the flat. She just got dressed preparing to go out and I saw her with her beautiful body shape, I couldn’t help but draw her back and give her a tight hug. I let go and repeated the hug for like 3 times, I even held her ass in my hand. She didn’t react overly, she just looked at me and smile. I’m afraid if this feeling goes on, I’ll do the unthinkable. Guys please advise me on how to overcome this lustful desire.��
Thanks you all for the advises. I must admit you guys talk some sense into me. I’m very sure and confident I’ll be able to control myself and resist the temptation from now on. May God help you all find your hidden battles and save you from desires that’ll land you in hell. Thanks again and God bless you.
Get yourself a girlfriend, that might help get your attention of your sister. This is the devil's work because the moment you sleep with her, the desires will vanish just as it came
Callmegerald2: There are a number of options available to you. First, keep calm. You still live with your brother. Wash the sheet. Do not confront his wife. She will make life miserable for you under your brother's roof. Secondly, at 26, maybe young should consider getting your own apartment. Maybe a room selfcon will be cool. If they could have sex in your room and not clean up, it may be a subtle sign to get your own room. Thirdly, do not discuss this issue with your brother. Next time when going out, lock your room.
He doesn't have a room in someone else's house how much more locking the door.p

How come she hid what fell from your pocket? this is sad, man up and try dissolve that court marriage and move on
Dupalmer: Few years back my ex fiance had told me that she'd be participating in a Christian camping program the coming week. I was almost fooled but what gave her away was my laptop that she was using to watch movies before the battery drained out.
When I later made use of the laptop at work, She had logged onto her Facebook account but was unable to sign out before the battery drained. I passively went through her wall and chats and noticed that the supposed camping date was a ploy to have a free weekend with a guy who she'd been communicating with online.
The guyman is based in Germany. He had already spent close to 2 weeks in Nigeria since he came back and was ready to travel back to Germany but scheduled being with my Girlfriend for the weekend.
I foiled the "camping", I sent a friend request to the guyman with a message, he promptly accepted and we started communicating. Luckily he's not a woman wrapper. I told him my history with the girl and how she's trying to play the two of us. We agreed to meet and our meeting sparked a wonderful friendship and trust that is still in existence till today. For me I was done with the relationship. Though it really pained me but I needed proof.
We agreed to play along. He invited her to where he was lodging. I had wanted her to pass the night in my place but she said it will ruin her program that she and her fellow campers would take off to Camp of Faith in Okigwe before noon. I "bidded" her farewell for the camping programme. She even called me to tell me that they were taking off and 3 hours later she called to say that they had arrived. She sounded so convincing that you wouldn't believe that she's not in the same city with me. The more she lied the more I am ending the relationship in my mind.
Well I kept tabs with my guy. They had agreed she'd would come over to his hotel at 6pm. I was at the bar of the same hotel trying so hard not to get drunk. My guy chatted me up around 7.40pm signaling me. I went and knocked, behold my fiance opened the door she was wearing her finest nightie, without bra, flaunting her fine legs and hour glass shape. My pain was nothing compared to her shock.
In summary she lost the both of us. She tried everything possible to get back into my while blaming the devil but her efforts were futile.
Here's the solution : The solutions to not being a victim of their dissimulation is: IF SHE'S NICE TO YOU PLEASE GO EXTRA MILE TO TREASURE HER BUT IF YOU SENSE ANY TRAIT OF SUBTLENESS: 1. Learn not to trust them. 2. Tune your level of emotional attachment to them so low. 3. Invest little or nothing in them so you don't have much to lose. 4. Sex is not worth paying for and don't get hooked to any particular hole. 5. Always have a spare tyre. 6. Pay back in their coin whenever possible the most effective way is to fvck her friends, relatives or colleagues. If she does same to you don't be pained, you have nothing to lose, a key that can open many doors is a master key. 7. Pay more attention to your hustles. HUSTLE hard, make more money and even more money and even more They are terrible liars and con artists.
This is too bad, and to think she lost a good man and the men has remained friends.
However, let me clarify what you just said. So you are married via court wedding, but yet to complete the traditional marital ceremony due to her family cancelling the planned event?
If that's so, my guess is that your wife is probably carrying someone else's baby. Well, I think you should wait and carry out a DNA test to ascertain if the baby is yours.
However, regarding whether to continue your relationship with your wife, that is a great matter for you to unravel yourself. Was she insistent to the end that the used condoms is not connected to her? Is she showing signs that she still treasures her marriage with you, or is she merely shrugging her shoulder with attitude that says that 'you can go and hug the transformer for all she cares'?
How has she been behaving before this discovery of yours, apart from the 'no sex again before bride price' ultimatum stuff?
Answers to all these questions, and more probing and diligent soul-searching from your side would help you decide if she can still be your wife.
I can almost deduce from your narrations that she doesn't care much for you. Maybe you forced yourself on her and she was really interested in some other person.
Xenry: Please ladies and guys tell me whats the benefit of having a girlfriend, wat is the guy gaining from the relationship or you, this is how most relationships go in naija, 1. You call the girl everyday, she does not call you back, highest she flashes you, then if you dont call you are not caring. 2. Because you tell her you love her, you immediately carry all her burden, buying her this and that, you change her wardrobe, make her hair etc, when u self have a lot of burden on ur head, and if u dont do it, you are not caring, or u dont love her, and she does not spend her money on you. 3. When it comes to having sex, then she start preaching, that she is not ready, she wants to wait till she is married, or its against Gods law, or they ask you whether your luv for them is based on sex, that you dont luv them for demanding sex from them. 4. Then after managing you for some time, she dumps you and moves to another guy, or she simply play games at ur back.
So please tell me, wats the benefit.
If i spend all this time and money wit my guys, during my trying period they will be there for me. The best thing is wait till you are married then officially her responsibilities are yours, then u would know ur investment is secured. #copied
This is not true, except the girl is not ready for commitment and just want to have fun..but if she serious and committed you get to enjoy things like, good conversations, growth(in business and spiritual), peace, calls at least twice a day, even if she is not buoyant..you get gifts no matter how little from time to time, indoor and outdoor games and activities, good food, great sex ... there's a whole lot to enjoy if most men can know what they want and when it's right in front of them.

sapien: Good evening, Romancelanders. It's quite a lengthy read, so bear with me.
This lady and I have been dating for the past 4 years, and I am planning on making it official later this year, though Covid-19 made my finances quite complicated recently, but things are getting back in shape.
Recently, specifically over 2 weeks ago, she suddenly stopped picking my calls. Prior to that, we haven't seen each other since September last year. She always comes up with one excuses or the other every weekend whenever I tell her to come over to my place or if I want to go over to her place to see her. I always have busy schedules during the midweek, so we usually have only weekends to see each other.
I have gone to see her mother and her siblings last year. They accepted me as a prospective in-law. The mum said she queried her daughter and she told her that I was the one she would like to spend the rest of her life with, hence the mum's invitation. Her mum usually calls me from time to time, and I do talk to her, too.
Couple of days back, I had to call the mum to report her daughter to her regarding the uncharacteristic change in her daughter's behaviour, and how, despite living in the same city, we haven't seen each other in 4 months, and how she has refused picking my calls in more than 2 weeks.
She promised to talk to her and ask her what the problem was and get back to me. I waited for some couple of days, but when I didn't see the mum's call, I had to call her back. I had to ask her to give her daughter her phone so I could talk to her and ask her some salient questions regarding our relationship. She kept saying there is no problem and that I didn't offend her, and our relationship is still standing strong. I asked if she was going through some personal issues that she could share with me and we might find a solution; she said she was perfectly okay. We settled our issues right there and then, and she promised to call back the second day.
I waited for the second day and I did not see her call. I had no choice than to call her back. Ladies and gentlemen, this girl didn't pick my calls. When she eventually picked after multiple missed calls, she was talking to someone else, while my airtime was burning out. I became enraged. I had to call the mum the second day to tell her I was no longer interested in the daughter, that she was probably seeing someone else, and she didn't have the guts to tell me.
The mum swore that her daughter is not seeing someone else, as far as she knows, and that she hasn't brought anyone to meet her. The mum is a Deeper Lifer, and from my interactions with her, she doesn't condone two-timing. She promised to talk to her daughter, that maybe we should give ourselves more time, like taking a break for a couple of months.
I am not usually this patient, and never condoned negligence and disregard in my previous relationships. However, this girl had been special to me, prior to her negligence. She was quite dedicated to me during the course of our 4-year-old relationship. She was never demanding, and was contented and altruistic, too. She helped me many times in the past, financially, whenever I was broke, and I always repaid her back, too. She was a wife material, and loved by my family as well.
The questions are;
1. Do I disregard the mum's advice?
2. Do I still give this girl another chance after her blatant negligence?
Mods, you might do well by moving this piece to the front page.
She is obviously not in the ship with you anymore, but for the sake of the four years, try and see her one on one and find out what the issue is, if she sticks with nothing and still remain same, then you gotta move on.
Jeff121212: Guys I'm pretty popular on nairaland but to avoid banters, I created this account. Do pardon my typos and mistakes, I'll try to be as brief as possible.
I dated this girl for like a year and during that period we sure did have intercourse frequently. After a while we broke up because according to her, she lost feelings for me. I pleaded but she insisted that her decision was absolute so I let it slide.
Recently, I became better than I was financially, way better. I wouldn't want to attribute her coming back to it but she did come back and we got talking again.
About a month ago she said she had accomodation issues and pleaded to move in with me. I obliged. We became as close as we were when we were dating (,or so it seems to me).
I noticed that she changed churches and she is more fervent now. Although it didn't change much, we still do get intimate in the heat of it but for about a week or so now, she refused to give in to my advances. I confronted her and she said her pastor asked her not to.
Now the issue is I'm a one woman man who doesn't believe in philandering (sleeping around). Coupled with her living with me, I'm lost as to how to address this issue. I need suggestions guys, I really do like her and would love to settle down with her (God willing).
Thanks Guys
It's possible she is really done and only slept with you those times to cement her stay with you..if you can help her get a place, please do and save yourselves heart wahala.
Aquilazng: @Vanilalyce how is it going with the op? Hope you contacted him and I hope you guys are keeping up with each other. Can't wait to see you guys wedding IV.
Hahaha, oh really, didn't follow up with it. I am not sure he even gave me a reply. @Vanilalyce how is it going with the op? Hope you contacted him and I hope you guys are keeping up with each other. Can't wait to see you guys wedding IV.[/quote]
She doesnt have to know, just do your thing quietly. quote author=dontjuststop post=97843258]Hello House,
Am not gonna bore you with long speech and epistles. I got married several years ago to my wife and we had two lovely sons and a beautiful daughter.
Before we got married, she cheated on me twice and I forgave her and she turned a new leave afterwards which I love and appreciate about her.
The first child a son looks a little like my wife with eye and body physique and same eating habit.
The second daughter has her nose, body physique and eating habit but different complexion.
The third son looks nothing like anyone we know even her relatives and mine. The only person I can match his looks to is their family pastor before she got married to me. He has his hair looks and a strange eating habit different from anyone in the house.
I have been trying to talk to her about the looks of the children for years but I couldn't summon the courage cos I fear she may harm me without leaving a trace to protect her secret if she's hiding anything. I have checked their eyes nose ears and feet but none of them matches mine.
Should I tell her my concerns about the looks of our children? Or run DNA test secretly and live with it without letting her know.
Great100000: Dying Husband Left House, Cars For Wife, But Gifts His Company And $726m To His Maid (See VIDEO)
This is an interesting story about a maid who got favored by her master. There is a lot to learn from this story because how you live your life is determined by the good or bad attitude you show out to the public.
Beauty can make a lady marry a wealthy man, but her bad attitude can send her back to her parent's house. Some ladies believe so much in their beauty, and they believe that their beauty can get them anything they wish for, that is why some of them are easily attracted to rich men for marriage but as time goes on, they will start manifesting their bad attitude that no man will be able to bare. You might be wondering why her husband willingly gave his wealth to their maid instead of his wife, read the details below
Amanda fox was employed to work for one MR. Taylor, a wealthy man with so many companies in his name. MR. Taylor is married and his wife's name is Beth. MR. Taylor and his wife have been married for ten years just as his wife has revealed in the video, but things went so hard in his health that he couldn't help himself anyone, and his wife was not helping at all.
She left him in the care of their maid without showing any care like a wife whose husband is sick and almost at the point of dying. So, Amanda has been the one taking care of him even before he fell sick to the point of dying.
According to MR. Taylor's lawyer who read the will to both Amanda and Beth, says, "As for the 4000-square-foot penthouse in Manhattan, New York, Mr. Taylor states that it should go to his wife, Beth Taylor. As for the 2020 truck and the 2020 Mercedes Benz, he also says that should go to his wife.
"When it comes to MR. Taylor's $726million savings account, he starts that this should go to his best friend Amanda Fox. When it comes to your husband's company, Taylor's Limited, he States that Amanda Fox should inherit this company."
The lawyer continued as he read the letter was attached to the will which has Amanda's name on it
"To Amanda, the lady I hired to take care of me, that became my best friend and my guardian Angel. I can not convey the words to explain the level of love and appreciation that I have for you. You truly are a generous person, kind, welcoming, and even more. The only person who gave me hope when no one cared. The only regret I had is that I am not there to tell you this in person, but remember what I always said; "One day you will shine" this is my departing gift for you... Continue being kind, I love you.
"To my wife Beth, I don't have much to say, the memories we have are too painful to remember. I always told you to treat everyone as equal, never put yourself above anyone... We are human, but still, you love no one, you helped no one, and you cared for only yourself. I left the house and the cars for you".
In conclusion, that is to say, that his maid was the one playing the role of a wife while his wife was busy seeing herself as a beauty queen with no regard for anybody. In other words, don't look down on anyone no matter how wealthy you are because no man created himself, but God. Let's learn to love one another, God bless you as you do so.

Romance › Re: Five Reasons I Prefer Sex Workers To Regular Girls!! by VanillaIyce(f): 8:27pm On Mar 07, 2021
