It's Tricky

This was a great song!  But it has nothing to do with A Trick of the Light by an author who was unfamiliar to me before I checked out the audio, Lois Metzger.  This was a good, good book.  I have always felt very uncomfortable thinking about anorexia because I have been morbidly obese for most of my life.  There is a girl in ATOTL who is in the hospital with Mike and she is a compulsive eater.  She has that whole humor thing going on:  I will make fun of me before you make fun of me.  But she has an eating disorder, just like Mike does.  The disorder has just manifested itself in a different way.  I don't know if I have an eating disorder, but when a person (who happens to be male) was a young adult, he was anorexic.  And it was funny (not funny-funny, but enlightening-funny) because we both had the exact same thoughts about our bodies.  We both hated our own bodies, with an incredible passion.  A loathing, really.  He went one way and I went another to cope.  ATOTL is told from the POV of anorexia.  I found it particularly effective to listen to and so I would suggest an audio read for this one, but I am sure the book is powerful as well.
