[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eating disorders...haven't seen it. We have after meet get togethers and the girls are eating more than most of the adults... My DD will happily polish off a full adult steak or ribs dinner given the opporunity and she's 11.[/quote] Yes, that's because they are throwing it all up in the bathroom (Bulemics are very very good at hiding it. Very good). Google "gymnastics eating disorders" (pages and pages). http://search.aol.com/aol/search?s_it=webmail-searchbox&q=gymnastics%20eating%20disorders. I was a competitive gymnast. I know. Same with ballet - there is tremendous pressure on these young girls not to gain weight because it makes the routines more difficult; makes them grow and become too tall; starts puberty; and is not aesthetically pleasing to the judges. And later in life comes the arthritis, the gastro. issues from bulemia, and the osteroporous due to lack of adequate calcium during teen years.[/quote]
