Replies hello12345 Posted at 5:23 pm on June 22, 2008 yeah, kinda does, you should read this:http://www.pale-reflections.com/help_others.asp geuss it's kinda helpfull.  Bottom line is that one comment, just don't eat, is her cry for help, she means it as a joke, and she knows you'll think it's a joke, but secretly inside she is begging you to open your eyes and help her. As i'm sure you know, ed's are very complicated, she can't come out and ask for help, or gain weight, becuase that would involve betraying the eating disorder, betraying herself, it's much easier to go against her will, and ask her to talk to someone, not force her really, but make it so that it's as if she's doing it for you, no other choice, not doing it for herself chicklover Posted at 5:23 pm on June 22, 2008 i use to be anorexic....now i'm bulimic :D blessedbeaut8 Posted at 5:20 pm on June 22, 2008 yah she does, its like with OCD, if she exercises as much as u say she does, tell  her she has to eat, it doesnt matter, something, anything slaphappy1 Posted at 5:20 pm on June 22, 2008 hey, i only usually eat once a day, and i am fine. i  just am a little iron defficient, but that is all xwhylovewhyhatex Posted at 5:20 pm on June 22, 2008 Wow, me and your friend are the exact same.
