Eating Disordes

The three narratives I chose for this paper were Alisa L. Valdes, Abra Fortune Chernik and Nomy Lamm. All of these narratives talk about the body, eating disorders, and body image. I feel like I relate to these narratives because I used to be anorexic for three years, so by reading these stories I can totally relate.

The story "It's a Big Fat Revolution" was very interesting. I enjoyed how she loved her body and she knew she was fat, and she excepted that. This is how it should be in society today with women and there bodies. I wish girls today could have the attitude and positive personality about themselves like these women did. It was more of a positive story in a way because I think I enjoyed her positive output on th
