Editor’s Note: The pictures above don’t tell Red’s entire story. In pursuit of being slender, Red went too far. She found herself in the clutches of an only recently recognized eating disorder. Thin Within was actually used to deliver Red from her eating disorder in a very real way. Read on for the unusual, but […]
Tears involuntarily trickled down my cheeks as my kindly oncologist stunned me by gently saying, “You may have three to six months to live if you don’t follow up your surgery with chemotherapy and radiation.” The regular mammogram in 2003 had been clear. I was shocked now, only a year later, to learn that the […]
My experience with Thin Within By Morgan Trotter I’ve struggled with weight issues most of my life. When I was about 9 or 10 I began to put on extra pounds, and became overweight for my age and size. Eventually my pediatrician put me on a low calorie diet, which my mother helped me follow […]
