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.

Ok, you really need to read your question before submitting.  I'm going to guess that her height, information that you left out, is going to be a contributing factor to this.\n\nI don't put much stock in the 'average' of things.  Somebody has to be below average.  I focus on what she is eating and does she get exercise.  If she's got a eating disoder, then get help.

thats a tough one. you need to make it every clear about how dangerous it is for her not to eat... she may lose some weight, but the other effects are way worse... her hair will fall out, her imune system will shut down... all kinds of things... trust me, and its something she will ALWAYS battle once it starts... instrad, why not talk her into working out with you. even if its only a 30 minute walk 3 days a week, she will notice a difference. im a vegiterian... when i stopped eating meat, i lost a lot of weight... thats not really a diet, but... there are diets too. just show her some of the effects of not eating healthy. a really good weight loss tip thats easy to do, drink LOTS of water... no sodas or tea. water is good for your skin too! your body is in a constant state of dehydration, but when you get pleanty of it, eventually it will let go of all the extra water it retains, because it knows it will get the amount it needs!  so in short- drink loads of water, a healthy diet, work out with her, and above all, keep reminding her of how beautiful she is, and point out her progress! she needs to work on loving herself more, until she does that, she wont ever be happy! good luck hun!

How lucky this young ladyis to have  you for a friend! She sounds as though she DOES have an eating disorder. She needs help and your responsibility is to tell her parents, her teachers, the school counselor and be supportive. These eating disorders are very difficult to treat and certainly out our expertise. She needs professional help NOW. You go tell adults that can give her that help and continue being her friend. You sound like a wonderful person!

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")

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.

Are you anorexic?\nTry this link and calculate your BMI. \nhttp://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/calc-bmi.html\nAnorexia is not a disease, it's a mental problem, a confused body image that leads to unhealthy eating habit.\nDo you always feel that you're to fat, and you want to be as skinny as possible? Are you constantly afraid to eat anything because it will make you gain weight? If the answers is yes, then your friend maybe right  . . . .

Bring it up in conversation. Let her know you are concerned about her without accusing her of anything. Tell her how much you love her and how you don't want her to see her hurt herself. If she does have an eating problem (which she may not), she probably has low self-confidence and it will help her to know that someone cares about her no matter what happens. Eating disorders are serious, so keep an eye on her. If you get concerned, don't hesitate to tell a teacher or one of your or her parents. She may be mad, but she will come to see that you were just trying to help her, and by telling someone she will be able to get the help she needs. Just please be sure she does have a problem before you do tell someone. Maybe something else is going on besides an eating disorder. Just talk to her. Good luck. Let me know if you need anything.

see a nutritionist. while eating a lot may help you a bit, it is also not healthy (junk food binge=tummy ache), especially if you are naturally skinny-you might end up just getting sick. it's also in the genes, so check if your relatives are skinny. if they are, chances are, you always will be on the slim side. oh, by the way, i know that there are exercises that can help you gain weight. ask your nutritionist about this too. =) good luck, and MAN DO I WISH I HAD YOUR PROBLEM! hehehe.

That is hard to answer. She already knows she is overweight, and is probably unhappy about it. Sometimes, it's hard to get motivated. If you are fit, offer to work with her. If you just tell her she's fat, you'll hurt her feelings and maybe hurt your relationship. Be cautious and be NICE. Don't tell her to 'stop shoving food down her throat'...she only eat more in response.

Don't worry!!!! Keep doing just as you have been, soon you'll be VERY skinny because you'll be dead. Well... seriously. Just eat healthy and do exercise, it's not necessary to skip meals or anything. have cereal and fruits in the morning. Eat veggies at lunch and have a small piece of fish at night. Go swimming or join a volleyball team, you'll make friends and loose weight!!

How much a woman eats doesn't determine how sexy she is.  Not all skinny girls are sexy. Not all big girls are unattractive. \n\nTo me, it has to do with how a woman carries herself.  Wether or not she has respect for herself and can be comfortable with who she is.

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.
