Part IV: Positive Forces that Make Your Body Want to Be Thin

Then in October 2007, I was interviewing people for my radio program and Jon was one of them. When Jon started talk- ing about “the feast and the famine,” something just clicked. I thought “this is what I’ve been doing.” Then he talked about the emotional reaction to a break-up, when you put the protec- tion on, and it just made so much sense to me. All I had was the fifteen-minute interview with him, which was just amazing, and after we got off [the] air I talked with him about my situation. . . .
