A 22-year-old woman has told of her inspirational fight with anorexia while weighing only 32 kilogrammes which was triggered when she was attacked by a maniac.
Snezhanna Kargapoltseva, from Yekaterinburg, Russia, has told how the stress she experienced when she was attacked led her to the disease and divided her life to a period before and after the condition.
She said that prior to anorexia, she weighed 47 kilogrammes, and then she lost 15 kilogrammes.
“This happened on June 11, 2022. I was returning home after my shift at a nightclub in the morning.
“There were a couple of minutes left until I got home when I noticed that a man of about 30 was following me. Tall and thin. When I turned towards the entrance, I heard someone running after me. She turned around.
“And this man attacked me, threw me to the ground and grabbed me by the throat. He started touching all the private parts. I was able to fight him off on adrenaline and locked myself at home
She said he then attacked her again: “Literally two weeks later he attacked me again. Only it was already during the day, in the city centre.
“He followed me on a bicycle. He caught up and slapped me on the buttocks. I ran. He dropped the bike and ran after me. I dropped into the first store I came across.”
She said she then closed herself at home, avoiding her daily routine and lost her appetite.

She said: “At some point, all the clothes became large. I had to buy sweatpants in the children’s department.”
She said her legs were only skin and bones and added: “I was terribly cold. I slept in a jacket and walked around the house in warm socks and pants. It was very unpleasant even just sitting.
“At night I couldn’t sleep even on my side. I missed my menstruation.
“My hair was falling out terribly. I was half bald! I found scraps of hair all over the apartment.
“The worst part was that if the number on the scale increased, I would get upset. But I understood that I had to somehow fight this.”
She then said she found the strength to go to the gym again.
She said: “The trainers supported me, they said that they would help me gain weight. I felt dozens of people looking at me.
“I had a complex that my tailbone was sticking out a lot. But I believed that everything was fixable and I couldn’t stop.”

She said after undergoing the initial shock, she started feeling better and weighed 37 kilogrammes, adding: “And my mother said that I began to look healthier.”
Now Snezhanna weighs 43 kilogrammes and helps other girls with eating disorders.
She said: “People come to me with requests: gain weight, improve nutrition. Anorexic girls also write to me and ask for advice.
“They actively call me to work as a coach, as many are inspired by my story. But for now, sport remains a hobby for me.
“I’m glad that I’m useful to people and can share my personal experience.”
