week #5---B!

In this final section of Wasted; Marya shows that even at 55 pounds, she was never happy with her weigh. Although she still cannot pinpoint the exact reason that she decided to reclaim (somewhat) her health, after her admittance to her final hospital she was able to pull her self together and start her long journey ahead. Marya will never truly ever be able to recover from her eating disorders, to this day she still manages her food and sees a therapist regularly. She also manages to tell at the end of the novel that she does not have a fairytale or "all loose ends tied up" conclusion; but yet just a never dieing anorexia and bulimia struggle. I really learned a lot from Wasted, it taught me that no matter how hard we try to escape our past and struggles, they will only be healed by time.
