[quote=Anonymous]OP. - I just wanted to tell you that your daughter sounds a lot like me. I was a 3 sport athlete, 5'8" and 135lb in HS. I was also obsessed with food and exercise and once got down to 118. I kept a food diary for HS and most of college. It never blossomed into a full blown eating disorder and I credit 2 things - I didn't have the internet, just a few like minded friends and my mom never made a big deal about it. I would check your daughters browser history, Pinterest, and Instagram and make sure she isn't into the Ana and Mia web sites with "thinspo" pics. Things like inspirational quotes like "nothing tastes as good as thin feels". Then realize that controlling food is a way of feeling like you have control over something when you control so few things as a teenager. Back off about the food, but also back off about other things too and try giving her more freedom in general - she's almost off to college. [/quote]
