Lizzie Velasquez Biography

Lizzie Velasquez has a positive outlook on life, despite having a rare medical condition. She is a sought-after motivational speaker and has written her second book, "Be Beautiful, Be You." She hopes it will inspire young adults who struggle with self-image and self-esteem. Released September 1, 2012, the book offers readers a close-up look into Lizzie’s journey to find beauty within and shares her message of staying true to oneself. ​ Lizzie’s undiagnosed syndrome prevents her body from storing fat and building muscle. This syndrome, which is known to affect only two others worldwide, has made her life a study in contradictions. She eats whatever she wants, yet cannot move a weigh scale past 60 or so pounds. In a time when many people change their appearance in order to feel accepted, she has accepted herself with extraordinarily positive self-esteem. Her attitude, not her syndrome, is contagious. ​ Her book shares her advice on being unique, how to make and keep good friends, dealing with bullying and negativity, the art of personal meditation, talking to God in your own words and setting realistic goals. Woven throughout are Lizzie’s personal experiences, as well as those shared by readers of her first book, "Lizzie Beautiful." The book’s core theme, to love yourself as the gift of God you are, will resonate with anyone who struggles with self-esteem.
