Then why did you bring it up and put SKIN TIGHT in all caps? [/quote]

Finally, the honesty! “Pretty, skinny people have it easier in life.”  If you cared about her health, you wouldn’t have allowed her to quit travel soccer. You would have helped her adjust her schedule so she wouldn’t be overwhelmed with three to four hours of homework a night. She is eating to cope and also isn’t used to how much less she needs to eat now that she’s not doing soccer everyday. Nothing is going to change unless you help her have time and energy to exercise.

how do you "not allow a 16 year old to quit travel soccer?" 
Do you walk them by gun point to the car 5 days per week? restrict food on a fully basis unless they go to practice?

really curious how you would plan to force a teenager to play 20 hours of soccer a week against their will.  [/quote]
