You might have heard of Lizzie Velasquez before. The 26 year old Austin native is a motivational speaker, successful author (she has been posted about on ONTD before) and gave a powerful TED talk in 2013. She also has a medical condition that causes her to have zero percent body fat and an inability to gain weight. Lizzie's condition is so rare in fact that they only know of two other people to have had it. Doctors predicted that Lizzie wouldn't survive infancy but she proved them wrong. She is also the subject of one of SXSW's most anticipated films that has premiered to positive reviews.
