520    "Dounya Awada is a 24-year-old, devout Muslim, happy, 
       healthy, and very much alive. But just a few years before,
       she nearly starved to death. Her struggle began when she 
       was six years old. Little Dounya wanted nothing less than 
       to be perfect, like her mother. She pushed herself hard 
       every day, excelling in schoolwork and at home. She had to
       be the cutest, prettiest, smartest girl in the room. The 
       slightest hint of imperfection led to meltdowns and 
       uncontrollable tantrums. Her parents loved her fiercely 
       but were unable to understand what was happening to their 
       little girl. Being perfect all the time was exhausting. In
       Dounya's culture, food is nearly synonymous with love. 
       Food is nourishment, nourishment is love, love is life. 
       Dounya began to eat to fill the growing need within her. 
       She grew in size, eventually hitting over 200 pounds at 
       just age 15. Food became her only friend. Her peers mocked
       her. She felt utterly alone. As is the case for someone 
       with dysmorphia, Dounya's obsession with food did a 
       turnabout, and she began rigorous exercising and dieting. 
       But even a substantial weight loss didn't satisfy her. She
       looked in the mirror and still saw the fat girl she used 
       to be. She began the ugly cycle of bingeing and purging, 
       eventually hitting a low weight of just 73 pounds. 
       Dounya's horrific struggle with eating disorders has led 
       her to advocate for boys and girls facing the same hurdles
       with which she struggled. She is now studying clinical 
       psychology, and hopes to open an eating and dysmorphia 
       disorder facility in Las Vegas for boys and girls with her
       disorder. If her story helps just one person to recognize 
       the beauty of their imperfection, then her pain will have 
       been worthwhile. Zuiker Press is proud to publish stories 
       about important current topics for kids and adolescents, 
       written by their peers, that will help them cope with the 
       challenges they face in today's troubled world."--Provided
