It would be so nice if this thing would just go away...

I'm quite thin again, my BMI right at, maybe below anorexic BMI. Still eating OK though but exercising more than I should. I find myself yet seeing bones in the mirror and being happy about it.

The ridiculous thing is I'm a mom to an adolescent girl (10 1/2 yr. old, normal weight, on the tall side). I need to be setting a good example for her, not a bad one. She's already at a difficult age, and we are struggling so much financially. She saw the pediatrician this June, and the doctor's opinion was she's going to start her period by her 11th birthday in mid-December. I was 12 when mine started, but girls do seem to get them sooner these days. So she's got a lot of hormones and stuff going on. She's super-smart but also has a lot of sensory issues, and I think just barely missed the autism spectrum on the Asperger's side (pretty sure my father is undiagnosed Asperger's). Although, I don't know, maybe her quirky personality will work in her favor as far as body image goes. I pray that it does.
