- As a dancer you had to be a certain weight. You can't be too fat or too skinny. You had to be just right.
- Well you're a healthy weight.
- Dia: 5
- Not eating was very common amongst dancers. I followed in their foot steps.
- I don't understand why you won't eat your food!

- It was hard being in class with other girls who felt the same way. It felt like we were just pushing each other into a deep rabbit hole of self loathing.
- God I look so fat today.
- I know right. You can really see my stomach in this leotard.

- Eventually, my doctor gave me a serious reality check. This is when I knew I needed to make a change.
- You're too skinny, it's not good for you. You need start eating more.

- I began eating again, and I became a normal weight. I also made one of the hardest decisions of my life.
- I'm so proud of you honey.
- Dia: 13
- I decided to quit dance. It was a hard decision. But it wasn't good for my mental or physical health. And I learned to love something new.
- I think I want to quit dance.
- Dia: 14
- I became a cheerleader my junior year and was the happiest and healthiest I had ever been. I am so glad I had these experiences growing up, or I wouldn't be who am I today. THE END.
