ABANDONED. Body image - a teenage girl who learns to stand up to herself, after a period of bulimia & yo-yo dieting

[Apoorva]

A teen who is self-conscious & wants to lose weight, she keeps trying but fails. She tries laxatives, throwing up after eating food, and on suggestion of a friend she considers a diet which helps lose 2 pounds a week, but she is too impatient for trying it. It ends with her successfully learning to stand up to herself, she indulges in a chocolate milkshake after a swim in the pool. At the back cover of the book was a girl holding her pants away from her waist, depicting how much weight she had lost, healthy & happy

Apoorva, I'm moving your request to the "Unsolved" folder because you're looking for a specific book. Good luck!

Could it be ? It's about an eating disorder and I remember milkshakes for some reason.

I could name a bunch of books with that general plot, but the happy-healthy-weight-loss picture is tripping me up. Something like Mates, Dates, and Chocolate Cheats or Girls Under Pressure?

[Stephanie]

Possibly The Melting of Maggie Bean or Artichoke's Heart?

If not, do you remember around what year you read it, and is the teenager in high school or under 15?

Apoorva, are you still looking for this or did you find it?
