[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 238971, member: 3907"] MWM, the thing that I find most worrying about your daughter's group of friends is that they're all doing it together. I'm very glad that she seems to be level headed, and not taking the diet too seriously, but please continue to watch her carefully. One of the things that a lot of the experts don't mention when discussing eating disorders is that it's a group activity. Girls will group together, reinforce each other's distorted thinking and the group mindset, and put pressure on each other to conform. Also, for those into bulimia, they will teach each other "tricks", to make the process more...um...efficient. I speak from experience. Went through the ringer with anorexia and bulimia starting when I was about 12. It took until my late 20s to really become healthy again. [/QUOTE]
