Check these out, too...
It can be scary when a friend develops an eating disorder. Here’s what you can do: 1. Learn as much as you can about eating disorders before confronting her. 2. Tell her you are concerned about her and suspect she might have an eating disorder. Offer specific observations like, "I heard you throwing up in a bathroom stall twice last week." 3. Suggest she be evaluated by an expert. It's doubtful she'll be receptive but important that you tell her. 4. Hand her a list of resources: The Renfrew Center, www.renfrew.org National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, www.anad.org National Eating Disorders Association, www.edap.org Academy for Eating Disorders, www.aedweb.org
6. Tell a professional (nurse, guidance counselor, coach, teacher) that you suspect your friend has an eating disorder. 7. Realize you've done what you can. You can't force help on someone who doesn't want it.

MOD This helps so much! I've been looking for advice like this for a long time. I guess my friends kind of recovered because I thought that they probably had full blown anorexia. Now, 3 of my bffs have bad body image. All of them are SUPER skinny but they are super concerned with not eating too much. Like, they eat energy bars for breakfast AND lunch and barely ever snack on ANYTHING. Then, they talk about how fat they are. What should I do to help them? Thanks.
