I read one of the stories in that vintage book of contemporary short stories, the one about the Fat Girl. By the end of it, I felt so awful for the main character, all the love and warmth that was shown to her and built around her was based on the pretense that she remain skinny. No wonder she was emotionally attached to eating. I would be too if I knew people would only love me if I were skinny, I'd need some comfort.
