Charmaine is a 15-year-old Grade 9 student. During lunch, Charmaine is looking through her social media account for the latest f
ashion trends. All the women in the fashion site photos look beautiful—their hair is perfect, their skin is smooth, and their bodies are tall and lean. Comparing herself to these women, Charmaine decides that her thighs and stomach are too big, so she vows to slim down by decreasing her food intake and keeping a vigorous routine of jogging, cycling, and crunches. She begins by cutting breakfast down to a glass of juice. For lunch she treats herself to a chocolate cookie, and at dinner she eats a small portion of the food her mother prepares.
