She has disordered eating habits it sounds already well i had eating disorders and i gained more weight and slowed my metabolism bad The best way to lose weight is to eat 3 to 5 small meals!. Eating a thousand calories or less is really bad i was eating about 300 and trust me its not good!. Keep chocolate around if you notice shes about to faint it helps raise the blood sugar and you should have her see a nutritionist or a therapist!. She will resist and be mad but its better than her possibly dying!. Plus people need to realize people with ed aren't always skinny most are not it depends what type you have!. DO NOT let her join any pro ana websites it gives her more encourgment and tips or books on the them it gave me tips and i wish i would of never read them even the ophilea speaks!. Just tell her how you feel or maybe if she watched movies about death about them or whatever how bad it is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
