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.

Number eight is especially important. I struggled with bulimia for about a year and a half. I'm an athlete and tried telling some of my closest friends/teammates. They seemed concerned at first, but never really told me they were here for me. I think that's the reason why I'm still struggling to deal with it emotionally. It would be nice to have your friends constantly checking in on you.

Thank you for posting this article! It's National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, so it's especially important to pay attention to this growing issue.For all of those girls hating their bodies, PLEASE stop for the sake of your well-being. I know society and the media make us hate ourselves, but it is not worth it. Stop before you develop an eating disorder. If you want a suggestion for a positive resource, I find the website proud2bme.org very helpful for keeping up good body image and helping with eating disorder recovery.
