What can lead to looking better? What do people encounter whose perfectionism, coupled with perseverance, makes them plague themselves with diets to a fainting state? How do people feel so exhausted that they are not able to move independently?
The story of Rachel Farrukh, the 37-year-old actress who was too furiously striving for deceptive perfection, will answer all these questions. For Rachel, thinness and a slender body have always been the equivalent of beauty. In 27 years, with an increase in 170 cm, the girl weighed 57 kilograms. For many, such indicators are just a dream. For Rachel Farrukh, this was not enough, writes Bigpikcha.ru.
Fooled by magazine stories and her own distorted ideas, Rachel decided to “dry out” a little to make her abdominal muscles more visible. It would seem that nothing was happening that could portend a terrible disease. Moreover, Rachel was very lucky with her husband: Rod Edmondson worked as a personal trainer in the club, where the actress was engaged in fitness. Everything turned out perfectly - a beautiful healthy woman who dreams of losing a couple of kilograms, and her husband, a professional athlete, is ready to help her in this endeavor.
Unfortunately, it was at that moment that Rachel started having problems at work. Filming was catastrophically small, and Farrukh was sincerely convinced that her appearance, namely overweight, was to blame for everything. The situation led to the fact that the woman soon crossed the line, and she began an eating disorder. The stomach rejected any food, hair began to fall out, nails were terribly brittle. Any physical effort exhausted a woman.

Rachel very quickly reached an extreme form of anorexia. In the worst period of the illness, Rachel's weight dropped to the 18 kilogram mark. She did not think well - the brain worked very slowly. A woman could not move independently. Rod had to quit his job in order to constantly look after his anorexic wife.
When the former beauty was brought to a hospital near her home in a dying state, the doctors only spread their hands and refused to accept the patient.
Then Rod in desperation left a post on his Facebook page, where he asked for help from everyone who could provide it. Within a few hours, Rod and Rachel scored 200 thousand dollars. With this money, they were able to turn to specialists and begin intensive treatment.
A month later, things got better. Now Rachel takes food in very small portions to normalize metabolism. The healing process can take from three to five years. The actress was discharged from the hospital, and now she can even walk to the store on her own.
