Kristina Karyagina's inspiring transformation from 37 pounds to hope
A few years ago, Kristina Karyagina was unable to get out of bed on her own, and her weight was only 37 pounds. Today, she is gradually regaining her health, and in the latest pictures, she looks like a completely different person.
Kristina Karyagina became the subject of media attention many years ago when her struggle to regain her health was publicized. Her problems began in high school when she started eating less and less due to stress. The situation worsened when she started law school. Year after year, her weight dropped, and Karyagina faced serious health problems. At a critical moment, she weighed only 37 pounds. Today, she is fighting to regain her health.
Health difficulties and the fight against anorexia
Despite graduating from law school, Kristina could not work regularly due to her drastic underweight. At her worst, she weighed just 37 pounds, making it impossible for her to get out of bed alone. A turning point came with her appearance on the program "Let Them Talk" in 2016, which opened her eyes to the seriousness of her situation and prompted her to undertake a tough fight against anorexia.
She realized then that her life was in danger. In the years following the broadcast of this episode, Kristina doubled her weight, but she still has a long way to go to achieve full health. In 2019, she admitted in a post on Telegram that she has a disability certificate and that her organs are still regenerating. However, she assured everyone that she does not intend to give up.
Since 2019 I have had a disability certificate for an indefinite period. It's all because of poor nutrition. My weight is obviously not what it should be, but it has increased significantly – she wrote.
This is how Kristina looks today
The V1 editorial team recently contacted Karyagina and learned that her recovery process is still ongoing. She has not yet reached the minimum weight of 99 pounds recommended by doctors, but her life is no longer in danger. However, Kristina has serious problems with her spine and legs, which force her to use a wheelchair.
Modern technologies have enabled her to take up regular work, which she does remotely from home. Her passions are books and drawing, to which she devotes most of her free time. Today, she looks completely different, suggesting that the worst moments are behind her.
