That's great that you didn't succumb to an eating disorder. I've only been 102 pounds when I was 14 and not dancing but I'm only 5'2". At 17 I was 105. Back at age 33, I was 117 when I was doing judo all the time. But I didn't have an eating disorder. Just lots of working out- 3 x a week. I've tried to get back into judo a number of years ago, but it was no use. I was too fat to comfortably practice judo anymore and certainly am now. I was embarrassed to go back to judo "fat". I think there's a certain expectation in judo to be thin and muscular- lithe, if you like.
P.S. This is my 16,000th post!

It's great, though, that you had the basic foundation of dance. Yes, 5'2" is a nice height for a dancer.
Nastassya loved dance and I so wanted to have Noah in dance class, even if for only a couple of years, but the stigma for boys in most parts of this arts-ignorant country is ridiculous.
I was graceful, very flexible, but too tall and - lol, size 10 feet. Hardly dancer's feet. Oh, well. Food was just never especially appealing to me. I hated cooking. When I was 17 I joined the local CoOp, became vegetarian, and ate "hippie food." A lot of brown rice, haha. It was only when I started taking Seroquel in my 40's that I began having a crazy appetite & the stuff got my metabolism all whacked up.
But judo! That is SO cool, Moose! I always wanted to try...can't recall the name...Aikido, I think?? Oh, well.
Congrats on your 16,000
