I so hear you! We have had the same concerns with Jess...who to us is starting to look extremely thin. I have found her writing in her diary what she has eaten during the day and the other night we have found her doing situps in bed. Jess is in the "in" group at school and there does seem to be quite a lot of focus on appearance.

Its a toughie because while you want to educate girls on the ways of having a healthy body you dont want to come down to hard and heavy which then blocks them from coming to you to discuss things.

We have talked at great lengths about magazines and the focus on appearances and the ridiculous need to look a certain way. We have always tried to teach the kids to treat their body well but to remember that its their spirit inside that is the most important thing.

Goodluck..its a tough age
