Rolling fat girl, chapter seven talks about Rosie and how she looked forward to going to study hall to see Kyle. later on in the story it talks about how Rosie has a doctors appointment. she thought it was for her pediatrician but in stead her mom tricked her into going and seeing a lady who believed therapy could help in the battle to lose weight. Mrs. Wallace, the doctor didn't make Rosie do anything and told her that she didn't even have to come back if she didn't want to.
The C word, the next chapter, lead me to think about the chapter even before I read it. I thought about what the C word could be and the first thing that poped into my mind was Cancer. So to really find out what the C word was I started to read. the chapter started off talking about how Rosie's mother wasn't feeling go and went home. "Later when Miss Bertha called to check on her, Mother was Lying on the sofa. Mother lying on the sofa is about as normal as my going for a jog." Towards the end of this chapter Rosie starts to realise that her mom might be sick and she is mad at her because she feels she would be the last to ever find out that her mom was sick. Right before the chapter ends Rosie goes into her mom's room and while their both laying on the bed, Rosie's mom tells her that she has Hodgkin's Disease. A type of Cancer. http://health.yahoo.net/channel/hodgkins-disease.html
In chapter nine, Rosie's aunt buys tickets for the three of them to go to this Healing the Fat Girl within conference. Rosie didn't want to go but didn't have a choice. When they got their the hole conference was pretty much just a huge advertisement center, where they were just trying to sell weight loss products. Not even half way threw the show the three of them decided to leave. On the way home Rosie's Aunt was pissed that that was what the show was about. Later on in the chapter it talks about how Rosie went back to Mrs. Wallace's office where this time Rosie told her about her mothers sickness.
In chapter ten, Rosie goes back to the drugstore and buys the diet drinks she had been looking at. The idea of her buying diet drinks makes me sick because it is not a good way to diet, and instead she should just use that treadmill her mom got her. The next day she went to school, Misty Winters sat down with her at lunch. Misty started asking Rosie what it was like to be fat, for an article for the school news paper. While they were talking Kay-Kay Reese started talking which made Misty mad. This made Rosie think that Kay-Kay wouldn't be a Bluebird for long. After that the chapter talks about how Rosie day dreams about Kyle and how when he walked into study hall sick she went over and gave him a packet of tissues. before the chapter ended Rosie was at the salon when Kyles mom walked in to get her hair done. Rosie wanted to introduce herself but decided against it.
Chapter eleven was very short. It started of with talking about how all she had been eating or drinking was Pound-Away bars and Pound-Away shakes. which is not healthy. After that Rosie is talking on the phone with her grandma in Florida. they talk about how Rosie is doing and then about how her mom is and that things will be fine and that she just needs to deal with the cancer in her own way.
In chapter twelve fat girl goes bad, Rosie starts off by saying that on top of all her other problems Mrs. McCutchin had another heart attack. At lunch Rosie finally decided to eat something and she ate a lot, so when she got to study hall she was feeling sick. She decided to just walk right out of study hall and went and threw up her entire lunch. when she was finally done she rinsed out her mouth and left the bathroom. when she was walking down the hall the bell rang and kyle had stopped her. He was talking to her and she couldn't even focus on what he was saying. Before he left he gave her a pack of tissues that had hearts on them. At the end of the chapter Rosie went back to Mrs. Wallace and all she talked about was Kyle and what he gave her.

Thats really sad about her mother. When you first said the C word to I thought of cancer as well. Thats cute about her and kyle :)
