RE: Eating Disorders Among Dancers

in #life7 years ago

Great blog! As an ex-dancer and a current PT in the Fitness industry I have seen first hand plenty of eating disorders...as a teenager I remember a fellow dancer would pass out regularly because she hadn't eaten in days...we were constantly scrutinising every inch of our bodies in front of full length mirrors and would verbalise how we hated individual parts. I am still in the habit of picking apart my flaws in the mirror and I know it all stems from my ballet days. These days I choose a pretty healthy diet and plenty of exercise but must admit my sweet tooth occasionally gets the better of me ;)
Side note, I'm loving reading your posts! Hope you're still on track for your bikini comp!
