Is this anorexia?!

Is this anorexia?

Someone who eats very little, under 300 calories usually, goes on days where she eats nothing, or only zero calorie foods, sometimes purges, feels extremly guilty after eating any food, exspecially high calorie ones, or large quantities.....is this anorexia? I'm concerned for my friend, she disclosed this information to me, and i want to know if it's anorexia or just normal teen dieting behavior. Thanks in advance.

She's a skinny girl, but she's not sickly skinny...she wants to lose ten pounds though..

No, no no, this is not normal. Very serious situation. Yes, your friend is anorexic and to be blunt about it, she needs help immediately or she risks losing her life. Talk to your parents, tell them her habits and that you are concerned. They can help you figure out what needs to be done. She needs PROFESSIONAL help, though, not just her family trying to force her to eat. This is a disorder, not stubbornness.

As one of the other poster's pointed out, this might not be an easy situation for you to deal with, but it must be done to keep your friend alive. No matter how she reacts, keep in mind that you are saving a life here. I wish you the best of luck, my thoughts are with you.
