I'm Aletha, I'm 15 and a sophmore in High School. Ever since I was younger I was always comparing myself to everyone else - my friends and family call me the most sensitive person they know. In 3rd grade during my first ballet class I remember looking in the mirror and just seeing a plump child in a ill-fitting black leotard, so out of place compared to the other skinny girls in my class. Now that I am in 10th grade I have little changed. I am just trying to get on with my way of life, avoiding food and figuring out the next way I can loose a few pounds. I know it's not healthy and I know it's not safe but I have been dealing with this for years now and I'm sick of people telling me that. No, I have never been diagnosed for anorexia but then again nobody has noticed. Maybe I'm good at hiding it or maybe my friends and family aren't good at noticing things (okay my family for sure sucks at noticing things). I don't like telling anyone about my "situation", it makes me feel uncomfortable for who knows what reason I like having something in my life only I know about. I like feeling in control. This is my journey to winning, to finally being thin.
