“I can’t stop, but I can’t keep going,’ she told me. ‘Nothing works.’ I totally supported her. I looked up the names of docs and clinics. I e-mailed her recovery Web sites. And I sabotaged every step. I told her how strong she was and how healthy she was going to be and how proud I was of her and I dropped in how many calories I ate that day, the magic number on the scale, the number of inches around my thighs. We went to the mall and I made sure we used the same dressing room so she could see my skeleton shine in the florescent blue light.”
