Contexto
“My dad’s opinion was, ‘She’s an athlete with an eating problem. Give her a protein drink, and she’ll gain weight.’ It’s hard to remember specific things from that period because I spent all of my time thinking about food, counting and recounting my calories. But I do remember one incident when I went shopping with my mom and sister for a bathing suit. I came out of the dressing room in a bikini, and my mother had to turn away to keep from crying because I looked like a skeleton. Soon after that, my mother took me to the doctor, and I was admitted to the ER.”
