Quote From: dodgerkymAlthough Karen, a 7 year old, isn't my biological sister, I treat like one. And to see how Nichelle treated Savannah made me sick. Yeah, Karen has tantrums, and she can be a real brat. But to call her those terrible things is uncalled. What part of mental disorder doesn't she understand? Now, I don't think there is anything wrong with trying to treat her like a normal kid, I do that all the time with my sister. But to call her fat and what not, oh please, that's not helping, she knows it. I don't feel sorry for Nichelle because there are a million other people in even worse situations than her and they're doing what they have to do to survive. I feel sorry for the little girl because she's not getting what she needs and that's love and support from her mother.
I am so proud of Cathy for her courage and strength to overcome anorexia! There is nothing more sad to me as a women then to watch my friends and other women diminish their divine nature as women. I can't relate to all eating disorders, but I can understand the need to be thin. I am almost 19 years old and I weigh 135 pounds and am 5'5" tall and I have had people come up to me and say I was fat. Those pants look too tight, or stop eating because you don't want to be over weight, and I have thrown-up my food because of these comments, but it never got serious like Cathy. Everyday is a struggle I believe for all women to recognize their beauty. And everyday I look at myself and I see an imperfect body, but I shrug my shoulders and say, "good morning sexy lady!" Everyone is beautiful and has a unique characteristic that will always make them who they are. I just want Cathy to know that if she does get better she will be the center of everyone's attention because she is so beautiful and what a role model she is to me because right now I am struggling through some personal stuff and I watched her today fighting against a 10% chance to live and still strive to her goal, and I look at myself and I probably have a higher percentage to reach mine and yet i'm not. But watching her make it, I know that I can. So thanks Cathy and please don't be afraid to smile:)
