Thresea

Theresa is a 23-year-old high school athletic coach. Her boyfriend threatened to call off the wedding after dinner last night if she didn't see a therapist about "her problem". He had always known she was a picky eater and was even proud of the way his buddies drooled over her perfect figure. However, her obsession over using laxatives was just too much for this ex-football jock and he says it makes his skin crawl when he thinks about it. He has caught her vomiting in the bathroom more than once and it happened again last night after they returned from eating out. "I couldn't believe it", He says, "She pigged out and ate four servings of spaghetti at the restaurant." Theresa replied: "I was stressed out because my principal hinted that we better win the girl's state volleyball championship or he might transfer me to the Guidance and Counseling Department! ... and your insistence that I look like some kind of Barbie Doll doesn't exactly help either, you male macho pig!", She screamed. " Eating seems to calm me down, I have to stay in shape for my job, and I don't want to get fat like you have Bubba, so I throw up. What's the big deal?"
