I really appreciate you being supportive! I think a lot of people recognize that eating disorders can be a problem in the fashion industry, but don't know what to do about it. After all, no one ever told me I had to lose weight; I decided that I had to in order to be more competitive. How do you approach that in such a competitive industry? The industry itself is changing some, but too slowly.

Also, good for you, teaching your son about it. I had a friend in high school who had anorexia, and though I noticed that she seemed unhealthy, I never said anything about it. She ended up in the hospital and almost died, and I always thought that one of us should have done something about it. She's been doing better in the years since, but teaching your kids to watch out for their friends is a wonderful thing to do.
