Anorexia in Teenagers

My oldest is a pre-teen, six months away from being a teenager. She is all legs, thin and proportional. When she said she was fat, it floored me. What is it with kids' perceptions of themselves that they think they're fat when they're a size 0? If she wants to see fat, she should look at mom's thighs and butt! I've got the jiggle to prove it!

According to the American Psychiatric Association, the age with the most clusters for anorexia is age 14 and age 18. With three girls, it's something for me to keep in mind.

Most people are worried about being overweight. They're looking for the next best diet or the best diet pills available. They're looking for a quick fix or looking out for celebrity diets.

Exercise Update

I have been so lax the last few weeks on my exercising that I haven't lost anymore weight. With it raining six out of seven days a week for the last few weeks, my volleyball time has been cut down to nothing. Since I hate to exercise, it has to be something I enjoy doing (volleyball) or else I won't do it. I'm stubborn that way. I know many people who utilize the diet pill approach, but I am not there yet for myself. Yet.
