Would you think your teenage daughter had an eating disorder if she was 5'9 and weighed 109 pounds?

Even if she was a vegan and was incredibly athletic like playing on the track %26amp; field and swimming %26amp; diving teams, and being the captain of the dance troupe, so there were justifiable reasons for her being thin?Would you think your teenage daughter had an eating disorder if she was 5'9 and weighed 109 pounds?
I would suspect it, I admit. According to a BMI chart that is very underweight. She would be a walking skeleton.

most parents will suspect it as they could think you where using being vegan and all the exercise to lose weight without it being suspicious





but i woudnt asumme it


as i know that being anorexic isnt about how much you weigh


its a mental condition





so if she was fine in the brain id just try to get her foods that help put on weight











(im one of the skinny people who cant put on weight and who everyone thinks is anorexic when i dont have a single symptom)
If she was thin all her life, then no. She is fit and slim. That's great. If on the other hand she just dropped 30lb in 2 month, I'd say you have something to be concerned about.





P.S. she might earn her colledge tuition by doing some modeling.
if she is eating well, fit and healthy, i won't worry about it. Some people just has that gene or metabolism, like my husband, he eats like a pig and still very skinny.
That's pretty thin. If it were an adult, I'd be alarmed w/ that BMI but sometimes teenage girls will have a pretty low BMI naturally.
gosh hun that girl needs some hamburgers %26amp; pizza


i am 6'1 not fat but not skinny %26amp; i know how much i weight %26amp; that scares me a bit
a vegan diet starves the body of nutrients it needs. That's why she's so skinny.
