See, it was understandable that her mum was concerned, as Evie had always been underweight, as she suffers from glandular fever quite often which causes her to lose it. Not only that but she never ate the proper amount as she was a very fussy eater.
Once when she was very young, she only ate around half a meal a day due to her fussy eating and refusing to eat any more than what she did. She got very skinny so much so that she could count her ribs. Everyone used to say how skinny she was, she was the skinny one according to her classmates. And she loved it. Her mother told her that if you can see someone's ribs that they are too skinny, so she took her top off in front of the mirror one night and traced her ribs with her small little fingers, she loved how it looked and felt proud.One day her mum went to the doctor, worried about Evie's size, the doctor said that if she didn't gain weight soon, they'd have to take her into hospital and put her on a drip to keep from from collapsing. So of course her mum went home and fed her every food she knew that Evie liked, chicken nuggets, chips, sausages, burgers.
She quickly gained weight yet was still a bit under, yet not dangerously. And she stayed around a good weight until, well, she wanted to lose it.
