Linda-
First of all, I don't think you weigh enough to be even considered fat. You are at a perfectly healthy weight. And I PROMISE YOU, that 90 lbs. is way too thin and not a good weight goal! You definitely need to eat more and when you do, you'll have a lot more energy to be the best dancer you can be. If you want to acheive your dream as a Broadway dancer, don't let an eating disorder stop you. It can totally screw up your life and dreams...it has with me. If you want to loose some weight, jut eat smart and healthy (4-6 small meals with all the nutrients and vitamins your body needs), exercise (which I am sure you get with dancing. Try running, roller blading, swimming, etc. too!). It's good that you are talking to your high school counselor too. Sometimes the best thing that you can do is talk to someone about your problems.
I hope I have helped! If you have some more questions or just want to talk to someone, just email me at Jenspace@hotmail.com
Good luck!
Jen
