It's all about signs of an eating disorder starting up and girls not noticing that their habits are linked to EDs. So, go get the magazine, it's $3, and read it when you guys hangout, and then come across it and say "you should read this, it's really good and shocking" maybe even make up a story how it upsets you because someone you know does some of the things it describes. (a friend or relative that she doesn't know, give a name so she doesn't get offended thinking you think it's you) I hope that I help you out, I'm not saying your friend has an ED but it will just help her from getting too into the dieting. Dieting is healthy if you do it the right way. Also I know what you mean about being no fun, I realize when I fast and don't eat much that I'm just in a blank mood and don't want to do anything. Message me if you need anything<3 anonymous2 Posted at 11:22 pm on July 6, 2008 I understand that you're frustrated with her right now, but all she needs is for you to be more supportive.  Do your best to see her beauty and the fact that she doesn't need to lose weight/can in a much healthier way....help her as much as you can before she develops an eating disorder wyattsc Posted at 10:30 pm on July 6, 2008 Tell her that eating too little will make her fatter, that way she at least won't be phisicly ill.  Every time she says somthng like that tell her how hot she looks five minutes later. REDHOTCHEERIOS Posted at 10:25 pm on July 6, 2008 well thanks..at least someone knows where i am coming from..god damnit JackieisBlue Posted at 10:25 pm on July 6, 2008 she probably, in her mind, just wants to better herself. you should support her. boombabyy Posted at 10:24 pm on July 6, 2008 her self esteem is shot , I weigh 180..I fuckin hate it my self esteem is relatively shot , you just need to talk to her REDHOTCHEERIOS Posted at 10:23 pm on July 6, 2008 ha ha ha no...read carefully..derrrr blufindr Posted at 10:23 pm on July 6, 2008 YOU need emotional support? sounds like she has self-esteem issues.
