why isn't it working???!!!

What is it with young girls on here that think it's a good look to be skinny, men love curves and the weight you want to be ain't gonna give you curves, don't go for the lollipop look and it's so not worth wasting your life dieting when you don't need to

Not that I agree with her GW...but really who cares what men like, we don't run our lives for them, surely I'm not alone in thinking this.

As a professional athlete, you need a professional trainer. If you really are a ballerina, there is one in your company.

I used to dance seriously and had no fat on me. But muscles weigh a lot. Don't be silly. There is a lot of bad nutrition and advice out there in the dance community.

I understand where you're coming from, with the ballet culture, but I think, or at least hope, that this issue is finally changing.

Check out the awesome Misty Copeland:



She weighs 103 lbs but she's only 5'2", almost half a foot shorter than you.

I would really recommend focusing on strength training and body recomposition, as other posters have suggested. Best of luck to you!!
