1. Chapter 1

Buzz buzz buzz.

Carly rolls over to face her alarm clock. 5:00am. She turns it off and sleepily gets out of bed. Every morning is the same: get up, throw on a track suit, tie her hair in a rough ponytail, get some breakfast (if she can face eating), grab her pearpod and trying not to wake Spencer leaves the apartment. Today for breakfast she has half a muesli bar (32 calories) and and a black coffee (0 calories).
The run is grueling. Like always. Two hours, music blaring through her headphones. The cool, crisp Seattle air permeating her lungs, threatening to choke her. But she doesn't stop. Only weak people stop. Carly Shay isn't weak. Anyway she's so fat she can't afford to stop. She needs to burn every calorie she can.
She returns home and checks the time: 7:02am. Carly runs into the bathroom and weighs herself. 109lbs. Fat. Fucking fat. She takes a shower to freshen up for school - the run left her drenched in sweat. "I'm gonna lose weight" she promises herself "I'm gonna be thin".
