“We turned into wintergirls, and when she tried to leave, I pulled her back into the snow because I was afraid to be alone.” - Lia, Wintergirls
I used to be a wintergirls too, almost. It's took me 3 years until finally I got my self free from this eating disorder. Yet, every time I see my reflection in a mirror I always see a fat girl with chubby chick and overload tummy. Psychologically I'm torn. Anderson's novel titled "Wintergirl" mesmerized me so so much. It's just like I was recalling my memory about my past life. I was shout "Hey! I used to be like her! But not that terrible." Seriously, Lia is sick. She couldn't stop counting the calories every time she sees food. Well, in my case I only skip my dinner and meal time. Having read these book made me understood that many teenage girls are suffering by their weight. Including me. Wintergirls is haunting me again, but I promise I will never be the skinniest girl in college like Lia's.
