[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree to keep an eye on it.

Here’s the deal - the only way to keep our weight in check is to watch what we eat & exercise. That applies to grown women and it applies to 11 year olds.  I wish we lived in a magic world where we didn’t have to put effort into it. For some lucky girls and women, you don’t! For the rest of us, we have to, and it doesn’t equate to an eating disorder. It’s just the cold hard truth of staying in shape. If she seems confident and happy with herself and without any OCD tendencies, then I would feel reassured. [/quote]

This is true for adults, but I don't think it's appropriate for 11 year olds to be thinking about six pack abs and weight/diet/fitness. They still have baby fat, for god-sakes. [/quote]

Yeah, no 11 year old should be thinking about working out every day or how to get a six pack or restricting food. Like, at all. Not even a little bit.

OP everything you describe is a red flag. I would be pretty worried if my normal weight 14 or 16 year old DDs were behaving this way and would be extremely alarmed as soon as these behaviors started happening if they were 10-11. You need to act now. Seek professional advice to see how to proceed. [/quote]
