[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 238989, member: 1550"] Oh, I brought this up because of the "group dieting" thing. It did scare me (thanks, Trinity). We have had the bulemia/anorexia talk, trust me. It scares me to death. My sister has had bulemia/anorexia all her life. She is so skinny now that she looks ill, but she thinks she looks good. It never goes away. I'd rather my kids be chunky. They can always lose it later on. The last thing I want is an eating disordered child. My sister works out for 1 1/2 hours seven days a week and is now running three miles a day I think. She can't afford to lose any more weight. Everything thinks she looks like she is dying. She says she is about 90 lbs. THe scary thing is, her daughter is a runner too and VERY skinny and VERY worried about eating healthy. She can't weigh more than 85 lbs, tops, and she is almost 17. Neither are very tall (around 5'4"), but the mindset is frightening. I'm afraid my sister will die of a heart attack. And then there is her other daughter. Her other one is a healthy looking dancer and sister said she "could afford to lose some weight." I freaked out and told her to let it go, but she won't. It seems that it is passed along too. I hope my daughter continues to not take this too seriously. She has a strong, athletic build and is not overweight, but she will never look teeny tiny. I am so disgusted the way society puts pressure on females to be so skinny (shudder). [/QUOTE]
