My freind is on an un-healthy diet. She hasn't told my freinds and I but at lunch she only eats and apple AND she on this website she said she was on a diet. We are worried that she is not eating much. What should we say to her? Should we talk to her?

XSugarPieX77 answered Wednesday March 22 2006, 7:17 pm: Don't have all of your friends confront her at the same time, because it'll make her feel bad if all of you at one time talk to her,and it will most likely make her feel uncomfortable and get on the defensive. You take charge, and ask her if everything is ok with her, ask her if anything is going on that she needs to talk to someone about. Just, try to be there for her, let her know how nice she looks some days etc. Don't just automatically say why are you on an un-healthy diet. She most likely is on the diet because she doesnt feel good about herself. Just be a good friend for her. Hope I Helped, and good luck to your friend.

We tried everything we possibly could to get her to eat again, but it was all in her head. She had a fruitrollup at luch which had 40 calories, and she wouldnt eat it. Talk your friend out of it, and hopefully it won't be as serious as my friends'. Start talking nowww before its too late!

berrynice answered Wednesday March 22 2006, 6:13 pm: you need to talk to her in private and tell her the way she is trying to loose weight is SO wrong and tell her that there is a likely chance that it will do more wrong than good.. also encourage her to excersize with you and maybe advise healthy foods for her to eat.. but like i said make sure you talk to her in private with only people who care about her.. confronting her in front of everyone is a horrible idea [ berrynice's advice column | Ask berrynice A Question ]

talk to a doctor or somebody who will know signs of what she is doing. ask her parents how she's been eating at home.So just relax for now. if you for sure see something is going on, yeah talk to her. fat lotta good itll do ya'. if there is something, shes most likely in denial and will lie to you if you question her.

Let her know that not eating enough can also make you gain weight.
You body goes into a starvation mode and starts storing fat from everything you eat.
Encourage her to exercise more instead. Maybe offer to walk with her or something. You can have fun doing it together. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
