Rachel's Bulimia edit

In the summary for Day two, it describes how Rachel's diving coach tells her she does not have the physique to make it in the sport. It states "This hits hard for Rachel, who develops severe bulimia trying to get her weight under control[...]"

I wondered about the phrasing 'under control' as this implies that Rachel's bodyweight was in some way abnormal when she is actually healthy. Should this be rephrased to emphasise that she develops bulimia attempting to achieve the unrealistic (for her) body her coach indicated she would need to succeed? I am not an expert in eating disorders, but the phrasing struck me as problematic. BaldySlaphead (talk) 14:27, 13 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Good point. I've changed it to "trying to lose weight". AJD (talk) 14:53, 13 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
