I think my friends bulimic. For the longest time I thought bulimia was only when you made yourself throw up after eating A TON of food, but "purging" can mean making yourself poop, throw up, or fasting (starving yourself). My friend eats a ton and then she goes on a "fast". I know with eating disorders they have a warped perception of what they look like and they can't help it as it's a disorder, but her body is KILLER(she does not look like a bag of bones, yet, but it's all toned and hot). I didn't even know that was considered bulimic, I always thought it was weird, but never thought it was bulimic. What the hell should I do? Should I tell her parents, because I know her parents would do something about it if they knew she was doing that...but what if she freaks the fuck out on me? She worries me...

Keep an eye on her. I have a friend who is normal weight but she's bulemic-anorexic...something in between. Be there for her and try to help her.
