I don't remember titles of books or authors from when I was young. I remember the title of only one book, which was 'The Timber Toes. ' I remember it was a family of little wooden people who lived in the woods, and for some reason that stayed with me.
The times in my life when I've been my thinnest, I've been a walking psycho wreck. Forget the fact that I was basically starving myself; skinny was usually due to some kind of loss. Death. Rejection. Divorce.
