R.I.P - Isabelle Caro, French Model and Anti-Anorexia Symbol, Dies at 28


She began suffering from anorexia when she was 13, and she weighed about 59 pounds (27 kilograms) when the photos that made her famous were taken.
We heard the sad news yesterday and can't feel anything else but sadness and also huge anger ...
I remember reading the book she wrote in 2008 titled "The Little Girl Who Didn't Want to Get Fat" and nothing can describe the emotions that came to me at the time ...
A recent report showed that anorexia has increased from 118% in between 1998 and 2008 for children under 12 years-old in the US ... Time has seriously come to fight back and do something against this sad killing disease which is anorexia...
Sadly images of Isabelle Caro appeared on so-called pro-ana, or pro-anorexia websites. On Wednesday, one posted a notice about her death and a photo of her, large blue-green eyes peering over a child-size upper arm, with the caption, "die young, stay pretty." This just leave us speechless and we hope it's not too late for these young ladies to understand that the only way for them to stay pretty and live is to react, fight back and believe in their future...
