World's thinnest man weighs only 82 pounds: he was a handsome male model before contracting the illness

Frail Jeremy Gillitzer, one of the world's thinnest men from Minnesota in the United States, has battled anorexia and bulimia for 25 years. Ten years ago, with a muscular build and strong physique, he was a much-admired male model. Unfortunately, his life was disrupted by a disease that left him pale, gaunt, and almost skeletal. Now at the age of 36, Jeremy weighs only 6.5 stone (41.275 kg, about 82 pounds) and has a severely low Body Mass Index (BMI). His appearance makes him feel sick to his stomach, yet the courageous Jeremy still shares details of his daily life with others, hoping to raise awareness about his harrowing eating disorders. Jeremy, who lives in Minnesota, started blogging online two years ago to combat his loneliness and connect with others suffering from anorexia like himself.
