    Dr. Paula Kim, director of the Eating Disorders Clinic at Baldwin Hospital, explains that it is not unusual for athletes, especially gymnasts, to become obsessed with their weights. One reason is this: in gymnastics, the lighter the body, the more skillfully it can perform. She explains that the obsession with weight can lead to extreme dieting, which affects not only the body but also the mind.

    “For the anorexic, the mental focus becomes very small: food and weight. In a way, it is easy to see how it helps the anorexic manage the fear of living in the big, uncontrollable world out there. You may not be able to control how other people feel about you, but you can control what you put in your mouth. You can also control how many hours you spend at the gym. Soon you get hooked on controlling your weight.”
