The turning point,
she said, was a Sun-
day last October
when she heard a ser-

Council Road Baptist
Church. Afterward,
she wrote to church

Fear of being a ‘fatty’ leads her to near starvation
Anorexia kept Su-
san out of school dur-
ing 1981, kept her
away from friends at
school and church
and kept her at home
when she was not in
the hospital. She is
now a Junior at Put-
nam City West High
School.
Her bout with the
condition began in
spring 1980 when she
lost five pounds fol-
lowing appendix sur-
gery. At first, a
trimmer look at 105
pounds won the ad-
miration of class-
mates during her last
year in junior high.
“And, I thought,
this is really neat.
But I kept cutting
down and cutting
down until I was
hardly anything. I
thought I looked
good, but I looked
horrible?
Friends, she said,
began telling her,
"You're getting too
skinny."
Dieting on two or
three crackers a day,
Susan went down 89
pounds. She soon
found it difficult hold-
ing down food and
was suffered vomit-
ing spells.
A doctor warned
she would have to be
"tube-fed" if unable
to eat regularly. Her
longest hospital stay
was five weeks, in
May 1981.
Worried, John and
Eva Golden had her
consult a psycholo-
gist.
“The main problem
isn't the eating or the
throwing up. You've
got to get to the root
of the problem," she
said.
