  • Are all the gymnasts in this compilation diagnosed with eating disorders? If not it isn't really fair to include clips of someone who might actually be healthy. Not every gymnast has an ED. And before everyone starts screaming, I went to ballet school so I have seen my fair share of girls, and boys, with EDs and I can add myself to that list. EDs are terrible and with the obsession with perfection in media/films/fashion today I am surprised how people still eat rubbish and diet at same time.

  • @tedsler sorry if my video was unclear only the gymnasts mentioned by name have come out with information their eating disorders. I understand not all gymnasts have ED's it was not the intention of my video to say that.

  • who is that at 1:27??????

  • i was 47 pounds when i was 7.

  • @iAngelaKara Also, working out a lot (too many hours) can suppress your appetite very greatly. I remember when I ran track in high school. We'd run and workout so much and so long that I was just too tired and/or too worked up to eat dinner. I had lost a lot of weight by my senior year on the track team (I started my sophomore year at 125lbs. By senior year I was around 110). And I wasn't dieting or anything. Just lots of running and didn't feel like eating at every meal during the day.

  • @JoLeana76 Heart-breaking </3

  • @rtinny987 Yeah, I saw pictures of her before she died. She was nothing more than skin and bones. Very sick. 

  • I remember reading about Cathy Rigby's struggle with bulimia. It almost killed her 2 times, when she was rushed to the hospital for severe chest pains after a couple of severe purges. Her story is very remarkable.
