Life in the Fat Lane

Caterina P.

The ‘It’ girl: smart, talented, funny, beautiful, and skinny. Lara Ardeche; her high school’s ‘it’ girl, homecoming queen, and beauty pageant winner, becomes distraught when she discovers she is gaining weight. Lara’s mother enforces more strict diet and more rigorous workout schedule for her daughter. Despite their desperate attempts, Lara quickly gains weight and is ‘inflated’ to over two hundred pounds! Under tremendous pressure Lara makes a volatile decision, to quit eating. “Yes. That was what I would do. I’d just stop eating. One of two things would happen. I would get thin again. Or I would die. Either way, I would win.” (Cherie Bennett). What does this mean for our ‘it’ girl?
