________
Once I had shut my front door I let my legs give way as I slid down to the floor. I needed to clean myself up before my parents saw me. I ran upstairs and took a quick shower and I was just putting some concealer on my face to cover the damage when the front door opened.
"Amber, I'm home." My mother called up the stairs.
Shit. She was back. I cautiously walked downstairs to grab my school bag, hoping not to see her.
Once I had retrieved my school bag I raced back upstairs to do my homework, to get it out of the way.

I had finished my homework and I let my mind wonder to what the girls had said to me at school. Was I really that fat? I got up to look in the mirror. I slowly raised my t-shirt to reveal my stomach. Ewwwww. I immediately pulled my top back down again. They were right. I knew I shouldn't let them get to me, but they were right.
I got out my laptop and typed in to google, 'ways to loose weight fast'.
All those diets were hopeless. I would never be able to look like the amazing 'after' pictures that were shown on the diet page.

I skipped dinner that night. I felt physically sick by how fat I felt. Food became my enemy.
I went to sleep dreaming of the amazing possibilities.
