[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am definitely someone with a messed up relationship food and  I am perpetually on a diet. I also have no desire to stop dieting and just accepting my body as it is. The extra weight I carry makes me miserable. I think it is great that the younger generation is rejecting "diet culture".

I am also very thankful I don't have daughters because I think boy are more protected from diet culture and I am less likely to screw up my sons with diet stuff than if I had daughters. [/quote]

Disagree. I have two teenage boys and good athletic . They are very obsessed with being thing and muscular at the same time.  Pressure from coaches, society, other athletes. Please stop perpetuating gender stereotypes. I see many boys with disordered eating. [/quote]

Agree.  It often goes unnoticed in teenage boys.  The amount of Instagram content geared at restrictive eating from male accounts is significant.  And the pressure from Coaches and teammates can be intense.  Size (either way) is so challenging at this age as well.  They want to be thin but muscular and strong.  The risk is serious damage to their hearts from insufficient nutrition and excessive activity.  It really is something that needs more discussion and attention.[/quote]
