    About this ebook

    This book comes with a disclaimer. All of the thoughts in here are very real and genuine. These are the exact feelings and struggles that I, and many others, have felt and feel in dealing with anorexia. I invite you to look past anorexia as merely a medical diagnosis, and see and sympathize with the very raw feelings one deals with when having an eating disorder. Please read this to understand, and share it with anyone that you feel could benefit from reading it. Through these stories I hope to inspire and open the eyes of those around me, enlightening them to a world that is difficult to understand. Thank you for being a part of my ongoing journey.

    Katherine Litwin

    Hi everyone! As you have already seen, my name is Katherine Litwin, better known as Katie. I'm 19 years old and live in Westborough, Massachusetts; a small suburb outside of Boston. I was originally born in Toronto, Canada, but moved when I was very young. I am the youngest of four siblings and have a black lab, named Ollie. I currently attend The Pennsylvania State University as a broadcast journalism major, and my ultimate dream is to anchor the news some day. My hobbies are photography, writing poetry, and exercising. I love the outdoors and anything athletic really. Though my weaknesses are shopping and chocolate :) I love meeting new people, learning new things, and traveling to new places. I would love to get to know you if you care to share! Reach out to me if you ever just need someone to talk to!"Everything is OK in the end. If it's not OK, then it's not the end."- Anonymous
