[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 295839, member: 1233"] When my nephew turned 8 his wrestling coach started getting on the kids about weight classes. The coach was brother in law's best friend. husband's sister pulled nephew out and registered him as an independent. He could still train with his team, but sister in law picked the tournaments and weight classes he would compete in. Why did she take such drastic steps, steps that almost resulted in a divorce because brother in law thought that she was being "mean" to his BFF? She caught nephew spitting into a cup because he didn't want to gain weight by swallowing his own spit!!!! Several of the boys who competed all those years and were far more serious about competing got full rides to college on wrestling scholarships. They also got some serious eating disorders. Nephew got the message when sister in law pulled him out and made him compete in whatever weight class he was in, with-o the dieting. Apparently sudden short term diets can actually damage your heart. The coach's son was one who ended up in treatment for bulimia. [/QUOTE]
