Hoe is het, om tegen alle verwachtingen in, toch nog de 26 aan te tikken? Om het concert van Beyoncé vanaf een brancard te aanschouwen?

Lydia Slaby was thirty-three years old and had everything she believed would make her happy: three fancy private school degrees; a successful husband who was in the inner circles of Barack Obama's presidential campaign; a high-paying job as an attorney—even an enviable yoga practice.

Her new marriage was one argument after another, she had a job she never wanted, and for some reason she had begun to rapidly lose weight and turn a strange shade of yellowish-green.
