Sometimes we don't see ourselves the way we really are, instead, we see ourselves the way we think others do, or we listen to someone's mean words about us and we start to believe them. Jamie did that. She started to believe what a mean girl said about her, started to believe she was fat, and she couldn't stop it. She lost weight, too much weight, and it made her sick. She had an eating disorder, and part of her knew it, but she couldn't fix herself. She needed help, but wouldn't go get it.

Finally, when her body gave up, she saw the truth - that she was beautiful in the body she was given, and that what we see in the mirror can never be the thing that others may call us.
