A 380-pound girl with a rare condition that causes her to constantly be hungry was crowned a pageant queen in teenager in Mississippi.

Anna Hankins, 15, suffers from Prader-Willi Syndrome, an incurable genetic disorder in which patients develop an insatiable appetite, leading to chronic overeating and obesity, according to the National Institute of Health.

At two years old, Anna developed an insatiable appetite and was diagnosed with the condition, that affects one in 15,000 babies born in the United States.

"When she was little, the first words out of her mouth were 'I'm hungry' and the last ones were 'I'm hungry'", her mother, Jennifer told SWNS.

Anna Hankins has Prader-Willi Syndrome, an incurable genetic disorder which causes low muscle tone, short stature and chronic eating. The ninth grader was born prematurely and underweight, but as a toddler developed an insatiable appetite and was diagnosed with the condition aged two. She would pinch food from her parents' plates, could eat a whole pack of cookies in one go and even rifled through the trash in search of grub.

It became so extreme that her parents started locking the FRIDGE and closets to stop Anna raiding them. The teenager, of Louisville, Mississippi, is now on a 900 calorie-a-day diet but because her body does not break down food properly, she cannot lose weight. She needs oxygen to help her breathe and is unable to dress herself of tie her shoelaces because of her size. Her mum, bank branch manager Jennifer Hankins, 37, said strangers stare and kids ask why she is 'fat'. Despite her health issues, the brave teenager loves being center stage and was recently crowned queen in a pageant celebrating women and girls with disabilities. Precious photos show Anna grinning as she is crowned Mississippi winner, and she is set to represent her state in the national Miss Amazing content in Chicago in August.

Anna's mother said that they would get up in the morning and discover she had made a whole cake in the middle of the night.

Throughout her childhood, Annas hunger has been out of control. "We would get up in the morning, and [found out that] in the middle of the night she had gotten up and made a whole cake, her mother said.

The mother of two said she had to lock the fridge and cabinets to prevent Anna from raiding them. "We would clean her room and find empty food wrappers and candy wrappers anything she could get her hands on.

"I have Prader-Willi Syndrome and I get hungry a lot. It can be difficult to deal with sometimes, Anna told SWNS

Anna's mother Jennifer, who also has a 12-year-old son, Jack, said, "We walk into restaurants and people automatically stare at us." But one way thats helped boost the teenagers self-esteem is by taking part in the Miss Amazing pageant, which celebrates women and girls with disabilities.

"I love Miss Amazing. My favorite thing is singing and makeup and hair," Anna said.

Anna first got involved in the pageant world in fourth grade and has since participated in three events, most recently in November, winning the state title each time.

Lori Brasfield-Sanders, director of Miss Amazing Mississippi, told SWNS, "The biggest misconception people have regarding people with disabilities is that they cannot lead full, engaging lives.

She added, "Anna is an amazing ambassador; she is very popular and she loves participating.

Well I mean, it depends when she went on the diet versus when she was weighed and the photos taken.
Maybe she's losing a ton of weight now.

Apparently it's a generic disease. And it's also paired with other symptoms, anyone thinking it's a "self control" issue is fucking flat wrong and ignorant.

I've heard of a few cases where people with Prader-Willi Syndrome ate to death. As in, they ate so much that it ruptured their stomach.

These people have a legitimate disorder where they never feel full/not hungry.

I can vouch for this. I think the haters in this topic didn't read the article and just impulse-posted based on the topic title. I saw her (or some other girl with this condition) on a talk show once. It has to be an awful thing to go through. It was even featured in an episode of CSI a number of years ago. A guy who was pretty much confined to chains to avoid eating himself to death broke out while his caretaker was away and went to a casino that had an all you can eat buffet and he just went nuts and are until his stomach ruptured.

I'd assume that, in the vast majority of cases, the parents assume the child is just "lazy" or something other than admitting they have a serious condition.

It actually only bears out to about 20,000 people total in the US, which isn't even 0.01%. So in all honesty it's really not that common.
