This thread illustrates just how girls get eating disorders.

PP doesn’t know many teens, athletes or otherwise.

I have two teen sons. Both play 3 sports each.

My daughter is only in elementary and everyone is stick skinny. I occasionally see a large girl in ballet but in her actual school, I can’t think of any large girls.

All my kids are thin. My boys are muscular.

I haven't been a hundred lbs since 5th grade. You haven't even listed a height with that weight. I assure you my 5'7" teen would look skeletal at 100 lbs.

I agree. Even my very slim (23 in waist at almost 17) daughter is 108-115. When she was 100lb she was struggling with disordered eating. And this was when she was more like 14. I can’t imagine my daughter any smaller, at 5’4.5.

I do think 115-120 might be a typical weight for girls this age. If any are 100 lb theY are well below average height and frame. I know she only has one friend who is overweight. And I know this is tough for this girl to be the fat friend. Very few girls I see are big even at our regular public school

I’m the person who wrote the 100 pound comment. I don’t actually know how much any of these girls weigh. They look skinny to me. My also thin boys weigh around 120-130 pounds. These girls are shorter and thinner so I just assumed they weigh 100. They probably weigh 110-120? I weigh 125 pounds and they are significantly skinner than I am.

“Disordered eating“ from the previous post is what should jump out at you. Valuing girls acc to their weight is disordered thinking. That is what you are passing along to your daughters. And sons.

That is definitely not us. We eat well. We eat dessert after meals. We are an active and healthy family.

My entire extended family is thin.

Great. Why do you think you judge girls’ worth acc to their weight?

I actually don’t judge girls’ worth according to weight. We don’t know many/any fat girls. There is no one to judge.

My kids play tennis as their main sport. Those are the girls I see most.

Some girls are not thin. You are correct. I have seen some girls who are bigger than my sons.

My kid just started high school. Middle school girls look petite and thin and 100 pounds.

There are some kids in high school who look like grown men.

My kids play tennis too and at the high school level, there are definitely plenty of girls that are not thin. Not obese looking, but a variation in sizes for sure

Pp here. My son is on the varsity tennis team. I just looked at their team photo from last year. Everyone is thin on the boys and girls team except 1 boy and 1 girl. They are a little thicker but everyone else looks lean.

Many of the top ranked women’s players in the world you would not call thin.

The American that just lost in the US Open finals is 5’7” and 154. Serena Williams wasn’t thin…muscular as heck, but not thin.

We are on financial aid, so we already are different in that we are outliers in that we drive old cars and both parents work full time -- I actually have the more demanding job so DH is often the one picking up or going to school functions, and he's usually the only Dad for all those things.

But one issue I know is weighing on my DD, judging from her new interest in diet and "healthy eating", is that she is on the high end of the size scale. Honestly, our ped has been somewhat worried about here since her BMI hit 25, but we are wary since we have a family history of eating disorders (grandparents) and it seemed to have originated with the pandemic so we are hoping will wane as she grows.

Her entire school is full of thin and athletic girls, many do a demanding travel sport or even two a season -- a few girls seem to be flying for tennis tournaments every other week. Our DD was doing rec soccer until her team dissolved, and now she doesn't really have any interest in sports and says she won't make the cut for her schools team in any sport since the other students all did travel sports when they were younger.

I'm at a loss of what to do. We try and lead a healthy lifestyle, eating home cooked meals most days, packing a good home made lunch, go on family walks after dinner. I'm a healthy weight and take a yoga class on the weekend, but my DH is definitely put on the pounds in middle age (I think he is sneaking treats at work, since he eats okay at home and even goes to the gym a few days a week). Is her problem stemming from the bad modeling by my DH, should I put him on the irons to lose weight (or even go on GLP1 or something)?

Anyone have any insight into how all these svelte classmates ALL seem to keep slim? I honestly am surprised there is so little varaition; they were all sizes at our public middle school, even within the "wealthier" families. Any tips on how to get DD more active under these scenarios and push her to truly healthy eating (right now she eats too often, even if food is healthy, and is always wanting a snack).

This reads like a re-post or Troll.

Cut way back on snacks, sweets, cook and eat more meals at home/much less restaurant food. It’s easy for the teen age range to drop weight quickly. Also make sure she looks good in her clothes - bras that actually fit and don’t cause back fat and lumps, pants that are the right size and aren’t giving muffin top. Physical activity is important, but just “doing a sport” alone isn’t going to really move the needle on weight if the diet doesn’t improve.

That is some mental weight gymnastic! I am 54, almost 5'5", and weigh 125 lbs. I have a belly and fat in my belly. If I were 150, I would be fat, as plain as that.
Now, you are comparing a teen's weight to grown older women. Teens at that weight are overweight. OP and the child's father are responsible for this, not the child. And now you are telling her mom to help her hide her fat? Hence, teach the kid to be ashamed of her looks. Everything you wrote is messed up. OP needs to accept her responsibility and apologizes to her daughter.

Adults are responsible for their actions, kids are not, not when it comes to weight.

Wow. Vicious atmosphere for girls at these schools. Created by parents.

It's vicious having to grow up being fed like a goose at home and then being bullied in school because your mom failed at basic parenting. You should be the one suffering, not your child. They did nothing wrong. Stop being irresponsible, partner. Your child is not big-boned; your child is not ok weight, and your child is not just genetically overweight. Your child just has bad parents.

So how do you explain siblings in the same family with widely different BMIs and/or eating habits?

NP. You parent the child you have.

If one overeats, sneaks food, makes poor decisions at school hot lunch, sneaks dessert daily and quit all cardiovascular sports…. Yeah, she’s on track to gain weight and fat.

It’s no fun having fat rolls. Just like it’s no phone trying back in shape.

Better do it now before it gets harder and harder.

Good idea.

I would focus on character development and confidence. I have a friend who is obese but smart and very kind. She is incredibly thoughtful. Everyone around her is thin and fit but she is confident with her large body. I know she comes from a well off family and she was an only child. She was loved and seems to have a lot of confidence.

I think it all depends on how a person feels. If the parents think the daughter is beautiful and amazing, she will feel that way. We tell our daughter everyday how much we love and adore her. She is a happy well adjusted child.

I was 5’8” and weighed 135 in my teens, 20s, 30s. When I played volleyball I had pretty big quads as we were doing 90 mins of swats a day. I could also bench my weight, one rep, to get my name on the wall in the weight room.

From far away I looked like a tall ballerina, but from up close I looked like an athlete. Also ran sprints/hurdles and took self defense classes before moving out of state for college.

But there was a point where I was lanky and had to wear boy jeans or Bongo long jeans in middle school.

Do you live in the south?

We know all the schools in Wash DC and what you’re saying does not ring a bell. Even at visi or NCS or very small parochial high schools.

Our school has a mix of thin white and a few Asian girls. The girls are majority blonde. Boys team is also lean with white and Asian boys. Boys team isn’t as blonde. Like I said, I have teen boys.

The boys and girls have opposite schedules so I don’t see the girls. I just remember seeing the girls and they were very attractive and very blonde.

I am confused…I gather your girls team isn’t anything special. Top world ranked teen tennis players aren’t paper thin.

Even the nationally ranked (which probably will never be good enough to go pro) high schools kids aren’t what you would consider thin.

Is this supposed to be a reflection of top athletes or just lifestyle players doing it to stay thin but never planning for it to go anywhere.
