i just did this really big ballet competition with a lot of VERY good girls.... one of the judges checked see a nutritionist on my sheet... i am sick of people telling me i need to lose weight. it makes me not want to do it just to make them mad. they all say the same thing... "you are a beautiful girl in the normal world, but being beautiful in the ballet world is a different story." it makes me so upset. i have heard this countless times and each time i hear it i really let myself go and gain more weight just to make them mad..... please help i dont want to do this again! it just makes me so upset when people tell me that as if i dont already know. why am i so worried about what others think? i should want to do this for myself, not them, right?

  • It seems like you already see what I see! You should be happy with who you are and not let anyone get you upset. You just need to keep your mind on the prize and do what you do best! All the best of luck to you! You can do it!:bigsmile:

    i'm sorry they're being like that. i used to dance competitively & there is such a high likelihood of eating disorders in the dancing world. i'm glad you're on here trying to be healthy about your weight loss!

    They dont know what they are looking at. They want people who look sick and are about to die. You should not care what they say. Make sure you are doing it for you. Dont let them bring you down. You are better than that. Keep your head up. You will do the right thing and continue to watch what you are eating and working out just like normal. If they dont like it they can leave it. Im sure you did great at the audition. Keep trying if that is what you want. Remember it is what you want not them:)
  • WELL HER IS MY $.02

    YOU ARE RIGHT YOU HAVE TO DO IT FOR YOURSELF NOT THEM.

    IT IS VERY MEAN FOR THEM TO PUT IT ON THE SHEET OR EVEN SAY IT TO YOU.

    YOUR A$S
    PARNTERS ( FAMILY'S) A$S
    EVERY ONE ELSE'S A$S

    WORY ABOUT THE FIRST TWO AND FORGET ABOUT THE REST
