it may not be anorexia yet but it can lead to it with the behaviors she is exibiting. talk to her alone about it and see what her reaction is. let her know that you think she is fine the way she is. if that goes nowhere and you are still worried you may want to get her parents involved.

Anixety is a factor of exhaustin.  Bring anorexic her body is exhausted and hungry so anixety, depression, and panic attacks are normal.

I would tell u to make sure that you get the proper information on eating disorders so that u can throw facts at her each time she tries to rebut yr evidence bring up truth. Please do something for her but gosh i would hate for you to have to tell an adult or call someone for her, I would never talk to u again if i were her, but then again if she dies well there's no talking in that either. Make the right choice, try it yrself one more time, show pix of anorexic girls   http://www.d.umn.edu/~jvaleri/anorexia3_edited.jpg i think that will link right but idk. She needs to realize that this is an unnessary addiction. This is like her drug, she feels like she has control over something in her life. Anorexia gives her a balance geez when i was anorexic, but never to the point of extreme, i felt so happy w myself that i made the day w/o eating. Yr friend has to see that its not the right thing to do and being anorexic isnt even cool anymore? hAS SHE SEEN THE WAY HOLLYWOOD looks today? aND THE way that men look at a curvy body w healthy breasts hips and thighs and the cute butt behind a woman? I mean standards will always change but she needs to practice confidence first and for that reason you should tell a professional about her who can then tell her parents, they will likely understand from the accurate perspective of a person specialized in that field. kiss kiss bye oh remember http://images.animanga.nu/fanart/2798/anorexia.jpg she sees that in the mirror everyday so be mindful of that k honey?

Do you have any other things that make you think she might have an eating disorder? Like did she complain about her weight alot before hand or does she still?\n\nIf she is not exhibiting any other signs of an eating disorder besides weight loss, it could be from something else.  I know someone who dropped 30 lbs in less than 2 months because of juvenile diabetes.

You need to have a serious chat about your concerns.  Do NOT allow her to make it a joke ("I'm so fat!").\n\nIf you notice her skipping meals, exercising excessively or throwing up when she does eat, tell a doctor or counselor right away.\n\nEating disorders are serious and should be cared for by a professional.\n\nBest of Luck!

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.

you should not worry so much what other people think, if you like her and she is beautiful to you, forget what other people say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.   and like you said, she is working on her weight, I myself used to carry around 20 pounds too much and lost them, with the help of my fiancee....but we worked together and had fun doing it together...but I did it because I want to be healthy and have a child.  don't make someone do something because you feel uncomfortable around them, good luck to you...God Bless.

it is so sad how someone can just lose themselves! she needs help and she also needs food, when your 5 ft 4 you should NOT be aiming for 95lbs, waaaaaayyyyy too light! there is NOTHING to be proud of about being under weight, too many people have lost their life's that way! poor thing, she really NEEDS to go to therapy or something, i am glad that her mother is concerned about her and she is doing the right thing, it is not your fault if she refuses to eat, she needs support and help to realize what is going on. \n\ngood luck and god bless!♥

My heart goes out to you. It must be hard to hear what you have described. \n\nI feel scared for you if your Mom is saying you are fat at a size 0 and you are starting to believe her. This sounds like possible emotional abuse. If she means you no harm, then it sounds like an attitude from someone who has Anorexia . It is a very difficult, yet treatable condition if the person seeks help. No matter what your Mom says or does, I hope you see a school counselor or doctor about this very soon for your own safety. They can help you find out if you have Anorexia, and can help you if some verbal / emotional abuse is going on. \n\nI've met some people who don't have an eating disorder and genuinely cannot gain weight even when they try to. This is natural and nothing to be ashamed of. A professional can help you find some answers. \n\nI wish you the best.

you are right to intervene and worry. im 5'2 and when i was 18 i weighed 88 lbs and still thought i was fat. i hardly ate and whatever i did eat i threw up. my friends went to the school guidance counselor and told her...i was furious! but you have to do the same thing. shes so young and her body is still growing. she is missing needed nutrients and it could get so bad she could stop getting her period, start losing her hair, faint or even die. i didnt gain the weight back until i went to college and gained the freshman 15 putting me at a normal weight. its a psychological thing too. maybe talk to her first....find out why shes not eating. it could be the media always emphasizing skinny is better or it could be problems at home or with a boy and she is seeking attention in a very detrimental way. but as soon as possible tell someone close to you or her. you need to get her help quickly before something serious happens. you will be doing the right thing.

I think she may still be self-conscious even though she's lost weight.  She had been a thick girl for awhile, and even though she's lost weight, her self image may still be a little low. Or, it could be just that she likes doing something different. Who knows...

You have every right to be worried!  First of all, does she have a chronic disease process that could cause this weight loss?  Is she diabetic? Is she depressed? Does she see her doctor on a regular basis?  If not, she should.\n\nTo help her eat, serve her several small healthy meals a day.  Sometimes a big meal is overwhelming when you don't feel like eating.  Crackers and cheese for instance, is a good small healthy snack.  Peanut butter on fruit, things like that.  Small amounts of protein.  If she eats several small meals like that she will get as much nourishment as 3 larger meals.  Also you can supplement with something like Ensure if she finds that to her liking.  If that is too expensive for you, Carnation Instant Breakfast mixed in milk has the same calories and vitamins and minerals as the Ensure at half the cost.  Please get her to a doctor too.  Bless you both.

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.

Usually when people 'binge eat', they go to the bathroom and vomit the food so that they do not gain weight.  It is not a nice thing.  Perhaps that's why she is 'noticeably underweight' as you say.\n\nYou do not appear to be the same since you simply seem to have a healthy appetite or you love to eat, and plenty, too.  But your weight is normal for your height, and you don't mention any ailments or abnormalities.\n\nYou did not say if she had just one meal per day, only that she ate late at night, so it is a little difficult to determine anything further.\n\nShe does need help. though, and support.

Tell her she's not fat, make sure she knows that you think she looks good, healthy, pretty, that you don't like it when girls are too skinnny and unhealthy looking.  If you suspect a serious problem, anorexia or bulemia, please seek professional help with her.  Good luck!
