The Fat Girl

Summary

This story is about a girl who has been over weight for a good majority of her life, even when she was a little girl her mom would pressure her to loose weight and eat healthier. Eating was a comforting place for the girl to go. However it was more a of secret that she kept from everyone just how bad her eating habits were. Even through high schools, she didn’t have many friends. The girl had two friends that were close, but they did not have a clue about this eating problem. The girl than grow up into a woman and lost about 70 pounds and graduated. Subsequently the woman meant a man who became her husband. The woman got pregnant and thought it would be ok to eat like she did before but even after she had her baby she kept eating. Her husband never mention anything about her wait be she could definitely tell he was distancing himself from here. However, she did not seem to care, one morning she woke up, and much to her surprise he was still there.

Reflection
I think this story is about a girl’s lifelong addiction, and it was eating. The food was her comforting place she could go to just escape. Who knows why she picks food over other things to numb her plain. I just think that she is just depressed and wants to be loved as herself.
