[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her weight is not the issue, its the weight loss and changed eating habits.

My 13 yo also weighs 80 pounds. But that is her normal weight - she gains a little each year as she grows. [/quote]

My 14 year old weights 87lbs and is 5'7".  She has always been skinny, so this is her normal.  I would worry about the emotional issues attached to the changed behaviors.[/quote]

87 lbs at 5'7"?? PP, you are either disordered yourself or you are ignoring/abetting a very sick child. [/quote]

Calm down!  Yes, she’s skinny.  I know that.  Healthy weight is a range and depends on a lot of factors.  Just like a child can be very heavy and still be healthy a child can also be very light and be healthy.[/quote]

NP, but you posting here seems wildly inappropriate.  Clearly your DD stats are near skeletal.  While that may be her “normal” OP’s daughter, and probably a lot of the posters here have or have kids that have struggled with an ED and this is not helpful. [/quote]

I’m sorry that YOU don’t find it helpful; someone else might.  I agree with OP the problem is when there is a CHANGE, not necessarily the height and weight - but most posters seem to be missing that.  Disordered eating is about the HABITS, not the physical symptom - that was my point.[/quote]

Clearly YOU missed that.  Your always thin and following her own curve, slowing growing, dr not concerned, etc.  daughter’s height and weight is totally irrelevant here [/quote]
