I hated myself by the time I was six…because I was fat. I became bulimic at age fourteen. I had always used food to control my intense emotions, but as time passed, it became something else, something no one understood- not even myself. Meanwhile, what little structure there had been in my family was falling apart, and I ran away in an attempt to conserve my sanity. After years of living in tents, caves, and my car, I was admitted to a psychiatric hospital only to be forcefully discharged due to the medical community’s lack of understanding of eating disorders. Heartbroken, I was released raw and unprepared back into the world, once again alone.
Adrift and armed with lies, I joined the Air Force in 2005 at age nineteen.
My story is not how I overcame all of this, exactly; it's how I survived it. It's a social commentary on youth who fall through the cracks, on non standard friendship, on women in the military, and how anyone- if they can just find the strength to keep breathing- can open a new, brighter chapter in their lives.
This is the story how my non-life became a Life.

- Once I picked this book up, it was impossible to put it down. The author has a way of enveloping you and showing you her grief in a unique way. I've read memoirs before where it almost seems as if the author wants nothing more than your pity, not Ms. Presa. She wants you to see her soul. She opens to her readers in a way that is so impressive. She says, this is my life and I won't apologize for it, I just want others to learn from it. That's exactly what I have done. I have learned a great deal about mental illness and eating disorders, I've also learned of my need for continued education on the matter because of it's importance. We can't keep ignoring it. Thank you Ms. Presa for shining such a bright beacon of light on such important issues, you will forever have a fan in me.
