I was spending the night at my freind "susies" house with my other freind "Jane". we have all been really good freinds since kindergarden and im now 14. Well anyway. we had gotten some chinese food. Susie and i love to eat so we each had large portions of food. Jane only had a small peice of orange chicken and some rice but didnt eat any of it because she claimed she wasnt hungry and that the chicken was too spicy. then she went on to tell us about how lately she was only hungry for salad which is what she only eats.(dressing- water and salt). plus- she runs non stop and has lost a lot of weight and still claimes that she is fat. and trust me this girl didnt need to go on a diet. about 15 min. after we finished eating, we went on the computer and susie and i could hear janes stomach gowling. im really worried, i love her alot and i dont want her to hurt herself. am i being to paranoid? Susie thinks the same way. what should i do?
tina answered Monday July 12 2004, 7:46 pm: No of course ur not paranoid ur just worried about ur friend their is nothing wrong w/ that. Ask your friend if she is actually trying to lose alot of weight. Then keep on telling her that she looks bueatiful 2 build up self estiem which it seems she ddosent hav enough of. Explain to her that skipping meals is not healthy for u and their is other ways to lose weight thats not so drastic,
good luck [ tina's advice column | Ask tina A Question ]

Ashley answered Monday July 12 2004, 7:40 pm: Yep! What can we say "eating disorder"? There is totally something not right here. You need to talk to her and tell your worried and compliment her. You still need to talk to her parents. I am sure she needs to get treated before it is too late. [ Ashley's advice column | Ask Ashley A Question ]
Roxybabii922 answered Monday July 12 2004, 7:34 pm: Tell her you're worried about her and give her compliments on how nice she looks and how her body is great the way it is.. it will boost her self confidence and she'll probably feel better about herself and eat more [ Roxybabii922's advice column | Ask Roxybabii922 A Question ]
