I'm so glad you asked this!  The one rule I wish everyone knew and practiced is  PLEASE do not blow your nose at the table.  Go to the bathroom or into another room where people are not eating!!  Thanks!

It sounds like your friend had anorexia.  I would suggest that you contact either her parents or a school counselor.  This is a very serious problem that can cause loss of all of her teeth and eventually even shut down all of her organs.  She may be angry with you at first, but you could be the one that can save her life.  Please take my advice and get her some help ASAP.  Good luck and I will keep her in my prayers.  If you need to talk, feel free to e-mail me.

Your friend is dangerously underweight.\n\nThis could be because of some chronic illness or cancer but most likely ANOREXIA NERVOSA.\n\nAnorexia Nervosa is when you are extremely underweight\nI would be worried if my body mass index (BMI) is below 18.5.\nFor her height, her Body Mass Index should be between 61kg and 76 kg. She needs to find 11 kg from somewhere quickly. \nYou can check that here. Click on the 'body mass index' link.\nhttp://www.besttreatments.co.uk/btuk/conditions/13350.html\n\nAnorexia Nervosa is caused by a fear to eat or fear of gaining weight so it is more a mental than a physical thing. It is very difficult to treat but the earlier you start the better.She needs medical help and this may include psychologists, psychiatrists and dietitians/nutritionists.\nhttp://familydoctor.org/063.xml\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anorexia_nervosa\n\nYour friend needs a lot of support and help. Please stay with her if she continues to trust you and encourage her. This is a difficult battle to fight but she can get through it. Many others have. Her condition is bordering on being life threatening.\nhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10219756/site/newsweek/\n\nThere are many more links on the pages above. Please make sure your friend gets help very very soon. Don't leave her to die.

u can show her what will happen 2 her if she continues 2 eat the way she does. Don't take snacks n general away from her. Tell her if she eats healthy all day, she can eat one snack, or if she's more willing, she will eat healthy the whole week, a chose one day where she can have a nice dessert or something. If she doesn't want 2 compromise, then u should get her some help, because obesity can b fatal.

You probably know this is more of a parental issue but, since you cant do anything about that.  My suggestion is that you sit with her during meals and try to make it more fun for her.  Maybe make a game out of it.  Smile and laugh with her so she doesn't see this as something she has to do but something that is enjoyable.  God bless.

I feel you should let them know. If they can't accomodate your diet, don't go. You shouldn't have to eat the side dishes...shame on them. Call them and have a talk with them.

i dont know if you are asking this about yourself or a friend...but either way i would be concerned about possible anorexia or bulimia...whether it is you or a friend...you should really see a doctor...

Unfortunately, you're not going to be able to "do" anything but support her when she's trying to recover.  There is more to anorexia and eating disorders than just eating.  It's a control thing and she really needs to be in counseling with a professional and groups...all of those things she's getting.  You can encourage her to go.  Maybe getting her to volunteer with sick kids (those with cancer) might help her realize that her life is precious.  In other words, get outside of "herself" and give to others is very healing.  God love you for being a good friend.

Confront her in seeking help by a doctor, nutritionist, or counselor. Because starving yourself will lead to many exposure to horrible diseases. Help her through this process because nobody can't do this alone. (Healthy weight range 125-145 pounds for girls who are 5'7")

Unless he wants to do it you've got your work cut out for you.  You're pretty much going to have to cater to him until he looses the weight.  The only way a friend of mine could keep her man on a diet was to cook 3 meals a day for him with snacks.  She keep him full-up on healthy foods and junk out of the house.  Otherwise he'd just make whatever he wanted.  It was a wierd situation.

Wow I don't know if I should tell you this... Get her on nutritional supplements as soon as possible. My sister's boy was the same way... he won't eat anything until he is ready to pass out from hunger and he is really not well behaved. He gets violent at the drop of a hat. He has no control over his anger whatsoever, he will most likely be kicked out of school this year (he is ten now) for bashing his classmate over the head with a heavy object, he has to take anti-psychotic medication just to act (somewhat) normal. He is a bright and funny kid, he just can't control himself at all. You should seek professional help, and I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Best of luck.

anorexia is an eating disorder...its not something you decide to do or not do. My wife suffered for 6 years and life for me wasnt to pleasent either. She got so bad it became a fear of food... she would sweat and shake if food was put in front of her.\nAnorexia can kill...so please dont take it lightly. If your friend thinks she is too big...then see a doctor to recommend what is the best course for her to take as an individual.

First and foremost realize that she doesn't have an eating disorder if what your saying is true. What she has is self esteem issues because she is a little bit overweight. Eating salt will only dehydrate you and only SOMETIMES limiting your caloric intake will actually make you gain weight because your body will go into "starvation mode" and store all food that you take in as fat. Your friend however seems to have the mind set-up of someone that could really develop an eating disorder. Tell her she's pretty and that if she really wants to lose weight plan it as a long term goal for HERSELF not so she can be popular, have a boyfriend etc. and most importantly tell her to talk to her parents or a school nurse or doctor to help her plan her diet and exercise regimen.

Maybe she has an allergy to some food item, which she eats often. Ask her to undergo a allergy reaction test to find out which food-item is causing the reaction, and ask her to stop eating that.
