    Only we know what went down.

    1. Anger, when you're told just what kind of camp you're going to.

    2. Denial, when you think that you could totally lose weight without fat camp.

    3. Excitement, when you finally realize that your parents are kind of right.

    4. Annoyance, when people try to make you feel better by calling it "fitness camp."

    5. Homesickness, when you are just really missing the taste of some McDonald's Chicken McNuggets.

    6. Shock, when you're first informed of your daily caloric allowance.

    7. Confusion, when your extremely fit counselors don't understand why you can't do a four mile jog on your first day.

    8. Exhaustion, when you're emotionally drained from all the exercise and the emotional eating counseling.

    9. Fear, when you wonder if you're actually in prison.

    10. Jealousy, when you have to listen to the skinny bitch who's just there to "get fit and gain muscle."

    11. Pain, when you can literally work out no more.

    12. Energetic, when you finally stop being sore.

    13. Hunger, when it's your birthday and all the counselors give you is a cake made out of stick of sugar-free gum.

    14. Love, when you have to leave and realize you're going to miss all your friends.

    15. Free, when you leave the camp and you get to choose your own meal for the first time in months.

    16. Awkwardness, when you have to explain where you've been for the summer.

    17. Pride, when people try to make fun of you for going to fat camp.

    18. Insecure, when some of the weight starts to creep back.
