Erin Wallace, a recovering anorexic, stares at herself in disbelief, as she fits into the size zero jeans that she though were way too small at the Maine Mall in South Portland, ME.
Erin begins a month long colonics treatment to rid her system of yeast, while her daughter Elisabeth eats vegan gluten free frozen waffles.
Erin frantically searches for food she and her daughter can eat. Erin regularly sees a kinesiologist. The kinesiologist diagnosed her with celiac disease and her daughter with several food allergies. As a result Erin obsessively maintains control over every ingredient that her and her daughter consume.
Erin compares gluten and nut free cereal to make sure that they do not contain any ingredients that she cannot eat.
After Erin’s husband told her, during her pregnancy with Elisabeth, that she was getting too big to share the bed with him, Erin started sleeping in a separate bedroom. She gets ready to go to work at the Rising Tide Food Coop in Damariscotta, ME.
