"My mother gave me anorexia"; with her mom's encouragement, Juliette Potter * dieted so much that she developed a full-blown eating disorder. Here, she describes her lifelong struggle. (True Story).
* For as long as I can remember, my mother focused on my weight. I was never heavy as a kid, but I had a big appetite and a little bit of a belly, and that worried her intensely. By the time I was 4, my mom had already replaced my apple juice with Diet Coke, and I continued to diet throughout my childhood. Whenever I lost weight, she would get really excited and literally dance around. Later on, I realized that my mother's way of thinking was twisted, but by then, it was too late: I had developed a deadly eating disorder.
