Though she died last month, the world is just now learning about the
passing of French model Isabelle Caro. The 28-year-old Caro bravely became
the face of eating disorders in 2007 when she appeared in a shocking
billboard campaign warning of the dangers of anorexia during fashion week
in Italy. In the ads, a painfully thin Caro, who weighed less than 60
pounds at the time, was depicted peering over her shoulder with the words
"No. Anorexia" plastered in large letters across the top of the nude
image.
Caro became one of the leaders of an effort to warn about the dangers of
eating disorders, but after the health effects of the disorder weakened
her body, she died on November 17 following a long sickness....

To see my tailbone like an open wound, I show myself as I am. I'm not
beautiful, my hair is ruined and I know I will never have long hair again.
I've lost several teeth," she said of her looks on the billboard. "My skin
is dry. My breasts have fallen. No young girl wants to look like a
skeleton. ... You couldn't believe anyone would want to look like that. I
don't think there's any question about it."

"Caro's death is tragic," says New York-based eating disorder specialist
Marisa Sherry. "It shows us the severity of eating disorders. It's not
just about being skinny or being able to walk down the runway in size zero
clothes. Anorexia can take your life."

'No Anorexia' model Isabelle Caro dies aged 28
BBC News

Ms Caro's acting instructor, Daniele Dubreuil-Prevot, told the Associated
Press news agency that Ms Caro had died after returning to France from a
job in Tokyo.
She said family and close friends had held a funeral ceremony in Paris
last month.
Mr Bigler, who was a friend of Ms Caro, told Swiss media: "She was
hospitalised for 15 days with acute respiratory disease and was recently
also very tired, but I do not know the cause of her death."
Model who fought anorexia dies

In 2008, Caro released an autobiography called "The Little Girl Who Did
Not Want to Get Fat." In it, she described the debut of her disease when
she was 12, and talked about her battle against death, according to a
summary of the book on the publisher's website. She also denounced the
"Pro-Ana" movement, whose supporters claim that anorexia is not a disease
but a choice and a lifestyle.
On what appears to be Caro's Facebook page, listed under "Philosophy" are
the words "the best is yet to come."
In the introduction of her blog, which she called "Anorexia or the hunger
to live, take a step toward healing," Caro appeared to describe herself as
"a little invisible snowflake in a strong blizzard who is fighting,
fighting to finally live, despite years of suffering, and who is crying
out to the entire world to say that anorexia is a hell from which you must
escape while you still have time."

"Anorexia nervosa is characterized by emaciation, a relentless pursuit of
thinness and unwillingness to maintain a normal or healthy weight, a
distortion of body image and intense fear of gaining weight, a lack of
menstruation among girls and women, and extremely disturbed eating
behavior."
Treatment can be found in a combination of therapy and medications, this
Mayo Clinic report says.
Isabelle Caro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabelle_Caro
She suffered from severe anorexia nervosa from the age of 13. Her anorexia
was caused by what she called a "troubled childhood". When she appeared on
CBS's The Insider, it was revealed that at the worst of her eating
disorder, her weight had gone as low as 25 kilograms (55 lb; 3 st 13 lb)
at a height of 1.65 metres (5 ft 5 in); her most recent weight was 33
kilograms (73 lb; 5 st 3 lb).
She appeared on Channel 4's Supersize vs Superskinny which aired on 11
March 2008, in which she spoke to journalist Anna Richardson about her
anorexia.
Caro was hospitalized for the first time when she was 20. At her worst, in
2006, she slipped into a coma, weighing just 55 pounds (25 kg; 3 st 13
lb). The doctor said she would not survive the coma but she did.

Caro's anorexia began when she was 13. Her mother, she says, was seriously
depressed and her father was largely absent. She spent her childhood in
isolation, home schooled and kept away from others.
"I had a very complicated childhood, very difficult, very painful," she
said. "My mother's big phobia was that I would grow. She spent her time
measuring my height. She wouldn't let me go outside because she'd heard
that fresh air makes children grow, and that's why I was kept at home. It
was completely traumatic."
Her trauma crystallized into illness as she watched her mother struggle
with a 70-pound gas canister. She gives an account of what she remembers.
"She said, 'Do you know how heavy this is?' " Caro said. "I weighed 10
pounds more, and I kept thinking 'I'm heavier than that heavy gas cylinder
so I am a burden on my mother.' And that's when I thought about wanting to
lose weight, to stop my growth. I dropped to about 58 pounds. My meal was
reduced to two squares of chocolate and five cornflakes. That's all I ate
all day."
"That Christmas [when Isabelle was 13 years old] I asked for some scales.
I saw I'd dropped a few pounds so I started eating less and less. My
parents were so worried I spent hours weighing myself that mum broke my
scales."
"I'd panic if I even put on a few grams. I rejected everything I wanted
and everything that made me happy for some ideal of a pure life. It was an
absolute hell - that's what this disease does to you."
"Back then I had a very close relationship with my mother, which led me
down the path of anorexia.

Caro said that a designer told her she needed to lose ten kilos (22
pounds) if she wanted to model. A few years ago she was in a coma and was
expected to die, but now she's started eating little by little, she says.
Caro is now trying to pass a law in Parliament saying that you can't model
if you're too skinny. Jessica, who was brought to tears by her story, told
Caro "To us, what you're doing right now makes you one of the most
beautiful people that we have ever seen."
Isabelle Caro, model in anti-anorexia campaign, dies
USA Today
http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2010-12-29-caro-obit_N.htm
After a 21-year-old Brazilian model died from the eating disorder, Italian
photographer Oliviero Toscani produced a 2007 campaign for an Italian
fashion house that plastered newspapers and billboards with a naked
picture of a spectral Caro looking over her shoulder at the camera,
vertebrae and facial bones protruding under the slogan "No Anorexia."
The campaign gained Caro widespread attention in media in countries around
Europe and in the United States, and she spoke out often about her
anorexia and her efforts to recover, and the menace of eating disorders on
the fashion industry.

Some groups working with anorexics warned, however, that the attention
paid to Caro did a disservice to others afflicted with the disorder.
Images of 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."
Swiss singer Vincent Bigler and Caro had been working on a video for a
song he wrote about anorexia called "J'ai fin," a wordplay in French that
means roughly "I am the end" but is pronounced identically to "I am
hungry."
Bigler said he penned the song after being so moved and worried by seeing
Caro on television, and meant the lyrics to focus on hope and healing.
