Should I be worried about my cousin?!
Question:
Should I be worried about my cousin?
My cousin is is a 21 yr old female that is 5'5 and weighs 105 lbs. i am the same age, gender, and height, but i weigh 115 lbs...and i'm told that i'm skinny all the time. everytime i hang out with her or eat with her she is picky with her food and eats small portions. i don't live with her, so it's hard to totally judge on what's going on. should i be worried?
Answers:
yes, talk to her about it! You don't have to have an intervention, but let her know you notice and make yourself open to talking to her about it. She is still at an age where an eating disorder can become terrible.
Don't accuse her of having an eating disorder, but try to get her feelings on eating, food and body image. Then build her up!!
