When I was reading this scrap book, I felt along with it could have been my diary (except for the throwing up) and not just at age thirteen. We enliven in a organization where the loudest voices (movies, TV, magazines) publicize girls and women that our abandoned value is our looks and that we should be ultra-thin.  One online article, citing several studies, states that the number one twist for girls ages 11 to 17 is to be thinner and girls as minor as five have expressed fears of getting fat.

The author, Leslea Newman, has struggled as soon as body-image issues herself, and she shortened a addition of women's writings not quite food called "Eating Our Hearts Out." She was inspired to write "Fat Chance" after reading roughly a girl who had died and left at the rear a journal filled once her hardship not quite food and weight.
