[quote=Anonymous]It concerns me as a mom of a DD with an eating disorder. I can tell you that it all started for my DD when she was 12. She ended up being able to lose about 10 lbs in a month by severely limiting her calories and not snacking.  It didn't concern me at the time because she always had a bit of "baby fat" and is an athlete, so losing ten lbs was fine, though very unusual how quickly that came off. It didn't last long, she went back to normal quite quickly so i didn't think it was a concern.

Fast forward post puberty and she still has of course gained weight and her body has changed (as it should) but she still had it stuck in her head how quickly she lost that weight and how happy she was at that time.  This desire to control her weight in this way led to full fledged eating disorder and ultimately bulimia when she was 16.

I am not sure there is anything you can/should do right now, but I would keep a very close eye and be ready with some resources such as a nutritionist or therapist specializing in this area.[/quote]
