Could this be a problem....?!


Question: my friend has recently stopped eating as much as she normally does. shes very petite, about 4'10 and wieghs about (just estimating here) 70 pounds. she seems to be eating less and less every day at lunch. like, at the begging of the year, she would have a normal sized lunch and eat it all. now, she will only bring like an apple and water. im worried that shes not eating enough, but she keeps telling me that she eats a ton at home and that i have nothing to worry about.
also, every time she walks past a mirror, shes stops and looks at herself, but not like admiringly, you know what i mean?


please help, tell me if you have ever seen something similar and advise me on what i could do!

just go and talk to her (nicely) approach her and tell her she needs to talk to her mom about it...i think she is developing a dissorder u need to address her immediatly

im sorry to say this but ur friend could be inerexic. my friend was to for a while but pray for her and she'll prolly start eating again. if she doesnt...... just say it was her problem and i tried to tell her plz best answere me

first of all, if she is 4'10 and weighs 70 lbs, that's definitely underweight. i am around 4'11 and 5'0" and i used to weight 90 lbs and even that was underweight. i now weight 103 and i'm finally starting to look healthy. it's not that i have an eating disorder, i just have an abnormally fast metabolism. unfortunately, it sounds like your friend does have an eating disorder. she needs some help. sounds like she is anorexic if all she eats is an apple for lunch and some water. she needs some help!

I HAVE A CLOSE FRIEND THAT JUST TOLD ME ABOUT A MONTH AGO THAT SHE VOMIT HER FOOD UP TO LOSE WEIGHT. I KNEW THAT HER BF JUST DUMPED HER FOR ANOTHER GIRL AND THAT MAY BE THE REASON. I TOLD HER TO WATCH INTERVENTION ( A SHOW THAT COMES ON A &E) JUST TO SEE WHAT THAT DOSE TO GIRL WHO DO STUFF LIKE THAT. I SHARE SOME HEALTY DIET TIPS WITH HER AND SHE TRYED IT AND LIKED IT. SO YOU CAN TELL YOUR FRIEND THAT YOULL WORK OUT WITH HER AND TRY A HEALTYER DIET PLAN WITH HER.
GOOD LUCK :)

this is a problem...this happened to 1 of my closest friends, everyday she would bring a lunch to school, and she wouldnt eat ANYTHING....yes of course her surroundings were worried about her, but no1 could of done anything, she- herself was the only person who could fix this situation. because it is up to her if she wanted to continue starving, or start eating. at the end she realised that she wasnt looking any better then she was before. your friend sonner or later is gonna reaslise that the she isnt feeling well, she is dizzy, and the next time she sees a mirror she is definetly gonna STOP and see what shes done to her-self.
