Is she anorexic?!
Question:
Is she anorexic?
some people in an earlier thread suggested my friend might have anorexia...she is very concerned with her weight and I don't see her eat much...if we go to lunch she only gets a salad, and she's always talking about diet/weight/exercise... she is 5'1 and weighs 89.5 lbs, and she told me today she wants to weigh 85. I told her that sounds awfully low but she said she just has a small frame and doesn't carry extra weight well. what do you think? is she anorexic?
btw she is 21

Answers:
Yes she is-
someone 5'1' should be 105 - at 85 thats 20 pounds underweight.
And the next time she mentions a small frame - tell her that all skeletons are fairly small. I haven't seen a fat skeleton yet!
