Okay, I seriously don't know where this topic belongs in.
Feel free to move it! ANYWAYS.. I have a friend who always weighs herself before a meal. If she weighs over 102 pounds at that time, she refuses to eat. She just tells her mom, "MOM I'M FULL SO I WON'T EAT DINNER!" and her mom just agrees. She doesn't starve herself; she does eat. So does this mean that she's anorexic or not? |

I don't think anyone on this forum, unless they are a doctor and are experienced with eating disorders or they actually had an eating disorder before, has any know how or right to really diagnose your friend. Anorexia is really tricky to diagnose with all the diets and weight loss stuff going around. Her behavior is worrisome but if you prematurely make a diagnose, you'll probably end up offending her if she doesn't have it or make her refuse help if she does. Best thing you should do is keep an eye on her and try to instill some healthy eating habits into her without being too obvious. If her behavior gets too worrisome, you should have a talk with her. If she is very confrontational, you should have a talk with her parents or siblings. I don't know if this approach will work but the main thing is you should be there for her. My friend did the same thing. She would skip dinner and if she ate, she would do a lot of exercises. However, she actually conceded there was a problem so I could straightforwardly help her with it. |
