Feeding a hungry heart


Cutie pie: Jasmine Chua at two years old.

A young lady shares her childhood struggle with binge eating to fill the void in her life.

FOR years, I’ve kept in my purse a photo of a cute pig-tailed two-year-old hugging a koala bear soft toy. That picture has great sentimental value to me. It reminds me of the time when I was “cute and pretty” before the innocence of childhood was wrecked by two decades of depression. That koala bear still sits in a special corner in my room today.
