Final PSAT Post

As of right now, I have read 147 pages out of Diary of an Anorexic Girl. I only need 29 more pages and I will be done with the book. I have found this story to be amazingly interesting and I have enjoyed every page of it! Reading the diary of a girl who had problems with her self esteem and the situations she was in really opened my eyes to what anorexic girls go through. I believe that the Independent Reading assignment has helped me become a better reader and I am glad we had time to read in class as well.

Diary of an Anorexic Girl- Catch Up

Lately in Diary of an Anorexic Girl, Blythe has been experiencing numerous events, from boy problems, to family crisis, to obsessing with her weight, again. Her family began noticing the change in her body and how thin she was getting, so she was sent to rehabilitation, where she met her therapist, Becca. Blythe decides she doesn't like her and the place she's in, but she has to play along and act as if she is getting better so she can get out of it as soon as possible. After gaining some weight she is good to go, but starts having low self-esteem after a while once again. Blythe finds a new crush in Owen, her enemy's ex-boyfriend, but she still keeps thinking to herself "I know those few pounds are the only thing keeping me and Owen apart." After a while, she leaves for a college trip away from her family, so she takes that as a chance to skip meals so she can lose her pounds.
