Friend obsessed with weight HELP!?!


Question:

Friend obsessed with weight HELP!?

my best friend is really getting on my nerves. she is constantly asking me about if she is slim, if she looks good, if her clothes match, if she looks skinnier than the day before, if she looks better than this person. it never stops! she obsesses over calories and carbs and fats. she isn't even fat! I keep telling her but she won't listen. it's changing her to be more annoying and at the same time, she has this idea that she is better than everyone else and looks down on us. i don't know what to do!!! might this be a mental problem? she can't stop thinking about her weight and excercising.


Answers:

I don't want to alarm you, but your friend sounds like the type of personality who could develop a serious eating disorder. From the way she acts she may be well on her way. Her questions, although they may drive you nuts, may be her way of trying to deal with her insecurities. Try to talk to her and find out why she feels the way she does. If you care about her, at least watch her and see if she could be developing an eating disorder. If she has one, she is going to need all the love and support that she can get. People that need consant reassurance about how they look, usuall don't like the way they look. I really hope this gives you some insight. Take care and good luck.
