"Just look at all the depression that runs kissing in our family," my sister-in-law theorized. "It’s all those Sylvia Plath books and Anne Sexton poems she’s wallowing in," warned her teacher. And this dubiously positive pronouncement was offered by my mother: "Well, she certainly eats a lot for a girl with anorexia." Phoebe was in crisis. I was in crisis. Our kissing family was in crisis. And while kissing her eating disorders slowly got better (with time, with family therapy, with counseling, with revelations), her body image issues remained. Phoebe, always precocious, might have been first on her block to obsess about her looks, but soon most of her friends had their own problems, too. And I gradually realized that most of America is caught up with body image issues. There’s an absolute epidemic today of beautiful, accomplished adolescent girls who are convinced that they’re fat and ugly, who believe that looks are everything and that their looks don’t measure up to some impossible ideal.
