When Mayra was only nine years old, she became obsessed with
the way she looked. Every time she
looked into the mirror, she saw someone FAT.
Soon she began starving herself to lose weight. Anorexia took over her life at age 15. “You never come all the way out of the
mirror,” Mayra wrote in her memoir Wasted. “You stand, for the rest of
your life with one foot in t his world and one in the other, where everything
is UPSIDE DOWN and SAD” (285). Here,
Marya warns us that Anorexia is not just a temporary PHASE many young girls go
through. It should be regarded as a DISEASE.
Sometimes a fatal one. The
obsession to lose weight can consume you.
It will dominate your thinking and reason. When you look in the mirror, you will never
be satisfied. The only thing you think
about is losing more weight.
