hello.

I just remembered that I read this book long ago about this girl who was anorexic.

I forgot the title but the story was based in Singapore.

It's about this girl who was very fat and she had one very beautiful and slim sister and one brother.

And she always thinks that nobody cares about her because she is fat and ugly, and she has this idea that if she manages to slim down, everyone would like her.

So she started on a diet and ate only fruits for dinner and exercised a lot at night.

And she ate a lot of slimming pills too.

Then she realised that if she makes herself vomit after she eats, she can lose weight much faster.

So then, she got thinner and thinner and all her friends said she became prettier.

Then, she took part in this beauty contest with her friends but she fainted halfway.

That was when everyone came to know about her problems.

And she realised that actually everyone cares a lot about her, and it's just that they are all so busy that they neglected her.

So her mum brought her to see a counsellor and she started reading her diary where all the entries were addressed to her mum.

ok, anyway, the story was quite sad.

Especially the part where she was in the hospital and her sister and brother went to visit her and told her how much they love her.

Edit:

I found the book! It was in my cupboard all along. Its called Elevator Food by Amos Kwok:
