Dieing To Be Skinny Anorexia Nervosa In January of 1999, a ten year old girl named Kelsey asked her parents if she could go to a weight loss camp in the summer. Kelsey wasn’t very over weight, but her parents decided if that would make her feel better about herself, then why not' What her parents didn’t know was that this was the first step towards Anorexia Nervosa. After the camp, she came home and immediately started dieting and exercising. Her parents approved, thinking that it wouldn’t do her any harm to lose a couple pounds. Slowly she began cutting whole food groups from her diet. Soon, she stopped eating with her parents, saying she already ate or just wasn’t hungry. People began commenting on her weight. Kelsey loved the attention. Her parents were beginning to suspect her unhealthy eating patterns. She was indeed far too thin. Her mother took her to the doctor, and he talked to her about the proper nutrition she needed. Kelsey agreed to try to eat healthier. Barbara (Kelsey’s mother) really thought that this would work for Kelsey. However, the weight continued to “melt” off. She was cold all the time.
