Tea = dinner Shit I appologize. I know you dont want to lecture them but you have to step up and say something to them...If all ese fails you have to tell their parents or someone that can and will get them help. -- Posted by beautifulgirl at 1:34 pm on Sep. 27, 2008 tea? like the drink? -- Posted by Z o E at 1:34 pm on Sep. 27, 2008 i dont eat breakfast and occasionally i eat lunch, but i always eat dinner. -- Posted by nikki at 1:35 pm on Sep. 27, 2008 You can't lecture them about it. Just support them, and try and help when you can. Has anyone else noticed the changes? -- Posted by Anonymous at 1:40 pm on Sep. 27, 2008 they have persuaded the two other people that know that they are eating again, and have asked me not to tell them im not gonna be the person that goes behind their back and talk about the problems so i dont really know what to do -- Posted by Micus at 1:41 pm on Sep. 27, 2008 The reason they are doing this is because they think they are overweight. They want to look more attractive. The best way to get through to them is to appeal to that sense of looking attractive. Tell them they don't look as good as they used to after they've lost this weight (if they have indeed lost weight). Back when I wasn't eating, I would often skip one meal (usually breakfast), and just wait out until the next one to eat. I got better and better at controlling my hunger pains, and I would go longer and longer without eating. At some point, it got to the point where I wouldn't eat until the sun went down. I see your friend starting to fall into that same pattern. Be careful. -- Posted by Anonymous at 1:45 pm on Sep. 27, 2008 i know im worried too...they thing is they are never hungry now like you said the most worrying things is that other people dont know and i have to help on my own -- Posted by switchfoot52 at 1:50 pm on Sep. 27, 2008 if the person says that all the food is food for them then suggest they find something healthy. -- Posted by nikki at 2:02 pm on Sep. 27, 2008 Try and persuade them to at least eat something. Cheese and crackers, fruit...anything. Just don't force them to eat big meals or anything which might frighten them off their food. -- Posted by lonely x at 10:50 am on Oct. 3, 2008 my friend has the same problem /:
