Bad Habit

Author’s Note: What you will be looking for in this piece is what the author was trying to tell the reader, like what is the whole point of this book.

An eating disorder is a horrible thing, people thinking they are “Perfect” or not skinny enough. I believe that the author of the book called  “Perfect”  is trying to interpret the meaning of be who you are and don’t try to change the way you look, or you will be in trouble.  I have learned from this book, how? Well I was always thinking of trying it, and I thought maybe it would change me, but I learned from gym class I learned what I could look like, then I read the book  and I was proud that I wasn't about to start with a bad habit.

Some would say being perfect will get you popularity, or maybe boyfriends, well being perfect doesn't mean anything, you should be happy with who you are with at that moment.  The author made the main character, Isabelle, was bulimic she stood strong trying to keep her issue and got rid of it by finding a new way to change her weight which is awesome for her. Even thought she is a character in a book, it is always the best feeling to stop a habit that you have had for quite some time.

When she changed her thoughts I had changed mine, and mine was not to hurt my body. There is about everyone that would change their body just to get was they think they need, but why? No matter who you are God created someone specially for you.  Just because you aren't the way you want to be doesn't mean harm yourself.

Isabelle didn't think it was harming her, but she finally learned that things weren't the same about her, she was tired, dizzy, and hungry.  I know many people that have this disorder and I have known then before they have started, there is a big difference, it’s scary to see someone you know slowly changing in front of you; not in the good way.

Some people can’t just take the way they are, it’s a sad thing to see people anorexic or just doing harsh things to themselves. The author had a great story, and had an awesome plot. This story is on having a bad habit, and I learned that it seems to be a bad habit to get  into, but just the thought of trying to stop, it’s just like trying to ignore an itch that you have.  We are not perfect, we are different and that’s what we should stay as, just different.
