Resumen:
A graphic memoir recounts the author's struggle with body dysmorphic disorder that began at the age of six with finding love in food that turned into a cycle of bingeing and purging at age fifteen. Little Dounya wanted nothing less than to be perfect, like her mother. She pushed herself hard every day, excelling in schoolwork and at home. Her parents loved her fiercely but were unable to understand what was happening to their little girl. In Dounyas culture, food is nearly synonymous with love. Food is nourishment, nourishment is love, love is life. Dounya began to eat to fill the growing need within her. She grew in size, eventually hitting over 200 pounds at just age 15. Dounyas horrific struggle with eating disorders has led her to advocate for boys and girls facing the same hurdles with which she struggled. She is now studying clinical psychology, and hopes to open an eating and dysmorphia disorder facility in Las Vegas for boys and girls with her disorder.
