"Fruit for breakfast. Veggies, fruit, and crackers for lunch. Something light for dinner. No snack."
It's New Year's Day, 2002. I am 13 going on 14 and have just gotten drunk for my first time. I am eternally embarrassed by my mother. I am worried about my sister. My dad asks me if I'm anorexic and I share a lot about my disordered eating which is festering. Calista Flockhart is my style icon and I'm rushing home to spend hours on MSN. I'm stressed about high school and graduating from eighth grade and am really going to miss recess!! I quote Chicken Soup for The Soul and my Dead Journal. If that's not enough, I also delve into religion and perfectionism and forgiveness.
