This is a story about control – losing it, finding it and the tumultuous years in between.
College was the worst experience of my life. You don’t often hear people say that, but my eating disorder was out of control, and I felt broken emotionally and physically. I somehow graduated from the University of Vermont (UVM) in 1988 and began the process of rebuilding myself from the inside out. It wasn’t until last summer - twenty-seven years later – that a UVM campus tour with my daughter helped me realize that I am now recovered and in control.
