The Summer My Parents Sent Me To Fat Camp |

"Each girl had a Camp Stanley calendar available to mark weight-loss milestones and scratch off days endured" |

I never thought my entire life could be stuffed in a duffel bag. But when you’re shipped off—or rather taken there in an early-seventies model Oldsmobile—to a camp in the Catskills, that’s a given.
At Camp Stanley, I was in Division Four, Bunk “L.” We got to pick a name for the bunk: we chose “Light ‘n’ Lively,” which was also the name of a line of low-fat dairy products back then. I didn’t vote for that name. I thought we should have something more witty or clever, although I didn’t offer anything zingy. Other names noted in the Camp Stanley brochure include Incredible Inches and Gourmets Gallery (sans possessive apostrophe).
