This story surprised me. I thought I knew what was happening and it caught me off guard. For most of the story, the character seems like a very driven and focused person, which seem like positive things. We see that she’s struggling with some things, but she’s pushing herself and seems to be doing her best. These all seem like positive things, but with eating disorders, traits that are usually assets can turn in against you. I was ready to stand up against the family and protect her for going too hard on her when she was trying hard, until I learned it was an eating disorder issue, then I was ready to gently turn around and help her family get her the help she needed.
Well done.

This is so tough - you really tackled some big issues in these drabbles, and as with the others, you captured the complexity and even the floundering that people do when they're faced with such tough situations really, really well. Amazing job, and I've really loved reading these. <3
