34 kilos live weight. An anorexic Polish woman advertises herself on Instagram with this unique selling point. The bad thing about it: The young woman receives a lot of positive feedback for her sick, bony body and presents herself as a model and artist. Your fans are thrilled, we are simply speechless and very shocked!
Looking at these pictures will make you lose your appetite. Polish skinny model Wilkomira is so frighteningly thin on Instagram that one wonders how she can work at all. Allegedly, the 26-year-old is busy as a fashion model and make-up artist. It’s hard to imagine that this lightweight can still stand anything on its legs.

Wilkomira: She works as a swimwear, lingerie and nude model
According to her entry in a German online file for amateur models, Wilkomira accepts orders as a fashion model, but is currently looking for new customers. According to her own statements, the 1.67 m tall young woman weighs 34 kilograms. Oha! Although she writes on her account that she is explicitly not a pro ana advocate – and under no circumstances does she want to advertise eating disorders, the assertion under all the lean posts does not seem very credible.
Followers of the Pro Ana movement glorify anorexia and give themselves tips on the Internet to starve themselves down to a pathological, often fatal weight as quickly as possible. Now, websites that portray anorexia and bulimia (Pro Mia) in this terrifying way are thankfully forbidden.

Instagram has already deleted her account three times
But the online police are still not doing their job really well. Wilkomira also writes in her sedcard: “You deleted my Instagram account three times – and I just created a new one.” So it is that easy to spread pathological and dangerous content on social media, even though it is actually forbidden.
Wilkomira’s perception: does she not see it herself (anymore)?
But why does Wilkomira want to market herself and her completely starved body and present it to a large public? Is she consciously serving a fetish or a pathological niche? Or does she think she is beautiful? Is it because of the distorted perception that many eating disorders can no longer clearly see how thin they really are? In Wilkomira’s case, it would explain why she posts so many pictures of herself and tries to pose as a model, even though she is obviously very seriously ill and much too thin even for a model.

Instagram’s pro ana icons
Similar to YouTuber Eugenia Cooney, Wilkomira also has far too many obviously sick fans on Instagram who express their admiration for the young woman’s emaciated, skeletal body in the comments. You find the photos “stunning”, “beautiful” and “gorgeous” and thus drive the Instagramer even further into the addiction. Receiving compliments for being thin is known to be dangerous because we humans are addicted to recognition. We want to be praised, we want to be celebrated. We want to be beautiful. We want to be thin.
Those who cheer on the whole thing should be treated just as much as the addicts themselves and should be banned from social media.

She was so beautiful with a few pounds more
This addiction to recognition is particularly evident among young influencers like Eugenia or Wilkomira. You are looking for the audience and their admiration. When it comes to Wilkomira’s online sedcard, it is noticeable that most of the worried and critical comments come from women. The men are mostly just enthusiastic and full of praise for the look of the half-starved young woman. And maybe that’s a big drive to keep going. Criticism is simply smiled away. Neither Eugenia nor Wilkomira want to admit that with their decreasing pounds they are not a role model for others, but a danger.
