[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work with a lot of dancers.  They are in their teens and many of them dance around 20 hours per week.

The average waist for these girls who are young and exceptionally active is between 27 to 29 inches for dancers of your height.

A 25 inch waist would be the waist size of the 4th/5th grade girls, along with a couple of junior high girls who hit a lanky growth spurt but who have not yet gotten puberty curves.

The only teenagers with waists this small (and I am talking about active dancers) are the ones with health conditions or the ones who are naturally very skinny.

You have an eating disorder.[/quote]

Yes. All of this, above. [/quote]

Nope I don't have an eating disorder. You have zero idea what I look like and what I eat. You don't seem to understand the wide array of body types. I would never judge someone who is very wide and  bulkier compared to me as someone overeating or with a strange perception of their body if they actually want to keep adding muscles. The genetic basis can be so different.

I look at my daughter and her 6 year old friends, at same height and they are oh so different. My daughter is just like me, very narrow skeleton,  so light, very little muscle definition and easily a little belly right before she hits a growth spurt. Most of her friends have ankles, foots, heads that seem to be 1.5 the size of hers and have so much more muscles. And their routine is so similar. We are all very outdoorsy families, play sports, eat very healthy diets. The difference were visible from birth and it hasn't changed. [/quote]

Sorry but if you are trying to loose weight from a frame that would be appropriate for a petite active athletic teenager who dances around 20 hours per week to the measurements of a tiny, fit 10 year old, then you at the very least have serious  body dysmorphia going on.[/quote]
