    ¿ÄúI had a nightmare once, that I was in any man¿Äôs world but I was six feet tall and I was literally scared of my own height,¿Äù says Sofiya Cheyenne Perez.She is just above four feet tall and lives in Brooklyn New York.¿ÄúIt is a whole other world down here. I get the elbows, butts and the corners of women¿Äôs purses. And there is always someone staring,¿Äù Sofiya says. Her best friend Risa Jaz Rifkind will chase down people at a mall if necessary to prove her point that staring and calling names is completely inappropriate. And she will do that wearing high heels. ¿ÄúNot that it is going to make a difference to my height, but I am going to stand out in a crowd anyway so I might as well do it in style,¿Äù Risa says.Sofiya is dating Clinton Brown III, who is also a little person.¿ÄúI think life is a big game of Poker. God is the dealer and he gives us our cards and we have to play them. This is my hand and I¿Äôm going to have the most fun playing it,¿Äù Clinton says.He works as a business analyst and is a huge sports fan. Maybe he cannot play basketball himself, but that did not stop him from organizing a basketball team, the New York Towers, for little people.¿ÄúHonestly, if I were average size, I would be in the NBA because my skills for my size are out of this world,¿Äù says Jahmani Swanson, one of the star players on the New York Towers. Jahmani¿Äôs little brother, Justin Tompkins, plays basketball in the Towers and is also on his high school team. ¿ÄúI want to be remembered as someone breaking records and not just a little guy,¿Äù Justin says.

    Anorexia Almost Killed Me But Now I'm Back On Track
    Hard at work training for the London marathon, Harriet Smith looks the picture of health.

    However, not so long ago the 26-year-old was given just weeks to live after anorexia caused her weight to plummet.

    At the height of her illness, 5ft 8ins Harriet weighed just five stone, had a BMI of 10 and ate one apple every few days.

    Now, after a 12 year battle to overcome the condition the qualified nurse weighs a healthy 9st 7lb.

    Harriet's slide into anorexia began when she was 14 and decided to eat more healthily.

    However, this quickly morphed into an obsession with food that saw her lose four stone in the space of a few years.

    The extreme weight loss saw her suffer constant headaches, caused her periods to stop and made a fine layer of hair grow on her body.

    Despite the symptoms Harriet refused to accept she had a problem - even when doctors warned she was so thin her heart could stop.

    Eventually, in July 2005 she was sectioned under the Mental Health Act and was sent to a specialist eating disorder unit for 12 months.

    Here she was kept under strict surveillance and thanks to the regime - alongside pleas from her family - she began to put on weight.

    Today, she credits the support she received from mum Joanne, 63, dad Graeme, 55, and brothers Tom, 28, and Edward, 21 for her recovery.

    And while running was once a way to burn calories and lose weight, it is now something she does simply for the fun of it.

    Harriet is now in training for the London Marathon, which she plans to run in aid of the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA).

    She also hopes her remarkable story will act as a message of hope other sufferers of anorexia.

    Eventually, in July 2005 she was sectioned under the Mental Health Act and was sent to a specialist eating disorder unit for 12 months.

    Here she was kept under strict surveillance and thanks to the regime - alongside pleas from her family - she began to put on weight.

    Today, she credits the support she received from mum Joanne, 63, dad Graeme, 55, and brothers Tom, 28, and Edward, 21 for her recovery.

    And while running was once a way to burn calories and lose weight, it is now something she does simply for the fun of it.

    Harriet is now in training for the London Marathon, which she plans to run in aid of the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA).

    She also hopes her remarkable story will act as a message of hope other sufferers of anorexia.

    Anorexia Almost Killed Me But Now I'm Back On Track
    Hard at work training for the London marathon, Harriet Smith looks the picture of health.

    However, not so long ago the 26-year-old was given just weeks to live after anorexia caused her weight to plummet.

    At the height of her illness, 5ft 8ins Harriet weighed just five stone, had a BMI of 10 and ate one apple every few days.

    Now, after a 12 year battle to overcome the condition the qualified nurse weighs a healthy 9st 7lb.

    Harriet's slide into anorexia began when she was 14 and decided to eat more healthily.

    However, this quickly morphed into an obsession with food that saw her lose four stone in the space of a few years.

    The extreme weight loss saw her suffer constant headaches, caused her periods to stop and made a fine layer of hair grow on her body.

    Despite the symptoms Harriet refused to accept she had a problem - even when doctors warned she was so thin her heart could stop.

    Eventually, in July 2005 she was sectioned under the Mental Health Act and was sent to a specialist eating disorder unit for 12 months.

    Here she was kept under strict surveillance and thanks to the regime - alongside pleas from her family - she began to put on weight.

    Today, she credits the support she received from mum Joanne, 63, dad Graeme, 55, and brothers Tom, 28, and Edward, 21 for her recovery.

    And while running was once a way to burn calories and lose weight, it is now something she does simply for the fun of it.

    Harriet is now in training for the London Marathon, which she plans to run in aid of the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA).
