Tell her parents. She will be ripped at you at first, but in the long run speaking up is what a real friend would do. Then no matter what, stick by her. Anorexia is a terrible disease, she will need your support
Please show her a video tape of the starving children in africa who cant eat its selfish she can eat and chooses not to
I would involve her parents if you really think she is mentally ill with anorexia... she may be... talk to her mom or dad... that is a real friend....
I eat about one meal too! She probably doesn't have the appetite she used to! If your really worried, tell her! And if she spends the night at your house make some jello that is loaded with calories and tell her it is calorie free! If she starts to get noticeably thinner than talk to her parents but other than that she might not be as hungry! Hope i helped!
Skipping breakfast is not a very good idea at all. Especially if she is not eating through the day either because when you skip a meal, all of the calories you eat in the next meal will be stored as fat which is why they say people who eat breakfast are thinner than those who don't. If you really think she is anorexic then talk to her or her parents about it. i had a friend like her though, she didnt eat any meals but she did eat loads of snacks and she used to at loads when she got home.
