Gigi Hadid suffers from a rare autoimmune disease

A few days ago in New York started Fashion Week, which was visited by many stars of model business. One of them was 22-year-old Gigi Hadid, who shone at the shows of Jeremy Scott, Bottega Veneta and many others. It was after this that a large number of detractors turned against Gigi, accusing her of anorexia and drug use. The Internet users made such conclusions after the girl showed a very slender figure.

Gji's message to fans on Twitter

Judging because Hadid decided to write an open letter about her health, envious people strongly angered the podium star. Here is an essay published by Gigi on his page on Twitter:

"For the first time I will write about my health, because the forces no longer tolerate the attacks of ill-wishers. I just do not understand why you are so worried about my body? Yes, 4 years ago, when I was 17, I looked different. I was bigger, but it was not because I was eating better than now, but because my body could not cope with Hashimoto's disease, which I was diagnosed with. In this regard, I had constant swelling. Over time, treatment began to work. We met with good specialists who work with patients who have a similar problem. They picked me up an adequate treatment that helped me cope with fatigue, poor metabolism and my body's inability to retain heat. After all these symptoms were suppressed, I was offered to undergo a medical examination that balanced my endocrine system.

And now it's time to talk about how I feel when I describe my condition. I am relieved that I realize the seriousness of the situation with which I had to fight and finally take control of this disease. Yes, of course, travel and stress can affect my weight and how I look, but the main reason is Hashimoto's disease. After the passed course of treatment, my body reacts to all the old processes differently. Looking at myself in the mirror, I feel more healthy, but for me this is the most important thing. I do not care what I look like to ill-wishers and I do not care if they think me too thin. I think that this is the first and last time when I touch on this topic, justifying myself for what I look like now is not how it was 4 years ago. And yet, I want to appeal to all people who do not look like our society wants. Do not pay attention to anyone, because each of us is an individuality! Believe me, if you do not take to heart all this nonsense that is being talked about, then you will be much happier. At the very beginning, I was very worried about being considered a drug addict and an anorexic, but now, when I stopped listening to others, I feel real euphoria! ".
