For as long as she could remember, Tracy had been on a diet. Her mother was extremely body conscious and often spent hours looking at fashion magazines and shopping for the latest clothing to buy. Often, her mother would turn to Tracy and say, “when you grow up, you should look like this,” or “there is nothing better than being thin enough to look fabulous.” When she was at school, Tracy only ate what she felt she could at lunch not to spoil her diet.
As Tracy moved into early adolescence, she continued her dieting habits. She would exercise for hours in order to make up for a small spoonful of peanut butter that she allowed herself to eat at lunch. Although her parents required her to sit down to a family dinner, she would move her food around, so that it looked like she was eating, when really she was just rearranging the food on the plate. As soon as she could leave the table, she would hide in the bathroom and make herself vomit anything she had eaten.
One day, when Tracy was almost 17, she fainted while out with her friends. She was surprised when she woke up in the hospital and realized that she had an intravenous (IV) line attached to her arm, and that there was a tube down her throat. She was horrified when she realized it was a feeding tube to force her to get enough nutrition to stabilize her weight. She was very weak but she still felt that she did not want to forcibly eat anything that might make her gain any weight.
When she was released from the hospital, – 5 kg heavier – she was not allowed to go home; instead she was sent to a residential treatment center for anorexia and other eating disorders.
Although the psychologists, counselors and therapists were kind and understanding, she resented being forced to attend a treatment program for something she believed she did not have any problem with – her eating habits.
Finally, when her weight stabilized, Tracy was allowed to go home. She still had to see a therapist once a week. With the therapist’s help, Tracy gradually started to realize that she had little control over her life. Her counselor asked to bring in some photos of herself as a child and now, and she was shocked to recognize, for the first time, just how thin she really was. […]
