I sobbed into my hands as mother patted me on the back. "Sshh, baby, everything will be alright." I had just got news from the doctors, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. When we got home, I rushed to my room and tore off my clothes. I examined my body with hatred burning in my eyes. "I'm so fat …" I mumbled. I could see my ribs, but I didn't care! I'm still too fat! I put my index finger in the back of my throat, making myself gag. I finally threw up what was left in my stomach, my throat burning from the acid in my tummy. I wiped my mouth and looked at myself in the mirror. I started to cry, why couldn't I be normal?
