Wow, I never thought of the possibility that twins might be any different when it comes to eating disorders, but when you think about it makes sense. I'm sure, as you mentioned of yourself, twins are subjected to a lot more comparisons in all aspects of life and weight management would not be any different. I find these psychological aspects very interesting as they play a very big role in both weight loss and weight gain. This is a very interesting topic, thanks for bringing it to our attention. I'd love to hear more on the topic.

This is a topic that not many people would be willing to discuss but I think it is very relevant and also very interesting as well. I think that eating disorders and weight gain might even be more apparent in twins because there is always that one other person that you could compare yourself too. I have cousins that are triplets, two girls and one boy, and I know that the girls have always struggled with their weight even though they are both very sports orientated and workout on a regular basis. I never really thought about how they might compare themselves to each other, but this brings up a very good discussion. Thanks. :)
