Megan is an active 22 year old


Caucasian girl. She loves to play hard and is
avid reader. She has been growing like a
weed and seems to have just the right
amount of love and caring from her family.
She is proud to be almost as tall as her
grandmother. She is 5 feet tall and weighs
70 pounds. Megan can wear some of her
summer shorts from 3 years ago. They
maybe short, but they fit her waist and hips.

When Megan sat down to a meal with


her family she would eat slowly and
oftentimes not finish her meals, saying she
was too full. Her grandmother noticed at
meal time that her dad would make sure
her little sister ate well, but when telling
Megan to finish her meal, her mother
would step in and say If she isnt hungry,
dont force her.

Megan oftentimes complains of bone pain.


Her parents call it growing pains, and there is a
family history of severe arthritis in the family.
Megans complexion is very pale. After school
Megan comes home and eats a piece of fruit and
then says she is not hungry at mealtime. Once
when at her grandmothers house, Megan said
she was hungry but was not going to allow herself
to eat. Her grandmother informed her parents in
this right away. Since that statement of not
eating, both parents and the grandmother are
watching Megans eating habits.
