Jill

Listening to Jill speak
was intense. All of our eyes were on her. It was so hard to believe that this individual could have

a problem like an eating disorder. She is intelligent, thin, pretty, funny, and charismatic. There was only one disturbing part… each of us could find a
part
of ourselves in Jill’s sto
ry. Whether it be a bad experience at the pediatrician or emotional eating, we all can empathize with what she
went through.
I found a lot of aspects of my life where I could identify with Jill. I was a competitive swimmer since age four. Swimmers are not suppos
ed to be fat people. I din’t necessarily limit my calories at age
four, but I was definitely aware of my body.
