How can I tell my friend about my eating disorder?!

Well make sure you choose the right friend. If you're not very close that can be pretty awkward.
When you're alone, just mention something like "Do you think I'm too thin" or something along that line. Don't scream "I AM (insert disorder here)!".
Slowly make your way into the conversation. Congrats on recovering!

Best friend is anorexic.

Don't let it be awkward, it is a legitimate disorder that require treatment, right? Just tell them, and tell them you are in recovery. If they are truly your friends, they will be there to help and support you. I was anorexic for 8 years and unfortunately I lost several friends. In hindsight, I realize they weren't true friends in the first place. Eating disorders are hard to understand and uncomfortable (I agree with you there) for someone who hasn't "been there." If they have questions, answer them or provide them with some info about what you are going through. I'm proud of you, and your friends should be too. Take care of you, there is life after an eating disorder. I promise. :)

I have gone through this before- on both ends.
My friends didnt nessesarily tell me on their own i figured it out myself. I would just tell whatever friend of yours that you think will be the most understanding that you have problems with eating. You dont have to go into all the disturbing details that go along with an eating disorder- that will shock her. just be straight forward and general. You could tell her in person or on the phone or even within a texting conversation. But lead up to it, dont just come right out with it in the middle of a conversation about something totally different.

"I think she is knows"...Of course she knows or at least suspects. Sometimes people kind of know but just don't know what to say. Afraid they will alienate you. Afraid they could be wrong. Afraid they'll just make it worse for you. You know she knows on some level. So think how happy she will be that you are in recovery. And once it's out in the open, she may feel in a position to help you with your recovery. Or just to be there for you when you need a shoulder. We're always so afraid of burdening our friends and don't always realize that giving them the opportunity to help us truly IS a gift. A gift of love.

First you can start bye not saying it in front of anyone (that will make this less awkward) then like say " well i have something to tell you' or " i had a problem that i didn't tell you about because ...." and if he/she over reacts then you know that person is not a good friend. :-) hope i'm help
