Layla
Layla has been bullied because of her weight since junior high, but lately Layla has also been dealing with brutal and anonymous online attacks. Her mom, Melody, attributes Layla’s struggles with anxiety and panic to the torment she has faced over the years at the hands of her peers.
Shopping for clothes is another emotional minefield, especially now that her high school grad is approaching. She wants to look pretty for grad but feels like that will only be possible if she drops the weight.
The frequency of Layla’s panic attacks have been increasing. She’s officially sick of being held prisoner to the stress and anxiety brought on by too much weight. She wants to be free of anxiety and her dependence on junk food and the only way to do this is to stop using food for comfort and start finding healthier outlets for her emotions.
