I can understand her feeling. Of course, I want to get skinner, but I also want to eat what I want to eat because it is one of the purposes in my life. I think it important not only to decrease the amount of a meal but also to do moderate execise to lose weight. We can’t get skinner by watch what we eat.
返信削除I could understand really Victoria's feeling when boyfriend came to my country. And because of him, she decided to go on a diet. I thought she was really so cute.
返信削除Thanks for your good summary of the latest chapters you read. Try to write about your feelings about what you're reading, too. I wonder if Victoria might have feared that she would get an eating disorder like her roommate if she kept up her unhealthy cycle of gaining and losing weight. Your novel seems to have a similar theme to that of Kaho.
