Rebecca Silverwood @beccasilverwood.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Weird strangers somehow feel the need to say: “Aren’t you worried your ballerina daughter will become anorexic?”. Well, no 😆 She dances for hours and hours every day. She’s an athlete. If she didn’t eat properly, she’d fall over 🤷🏻♀️ Not bad for “quick meal” in a student flat with a chum. 000
