It's a really big problem.
My best friend had the same problem, and it got really serious. You need to really let her know that you care for her, and that she looks fabulous no matter how much she weighs. Every single time she brings up eating, or "how fat she is," tell her that she's not.


also, these facts really helped my friend...

when you don't eat a lot, then your metabolism slows down and you actually end up gaining more weight than you would eating a good amount.

when you're under stress to lose weight, your body makes sure that you gain it. Stress causes weight gain.

Im guessing your best friend is between the ages of what 13-16. If she its not REALLY REALLY serious. If shes older ...you have serious problems. But if shes 13-16....it could be a crutial matter. Teens throughout the U.S have eating disorters. 8,000,000 or MORE of them have it. and 90% of them are WOMEN! You need to talk to your best friend...WHICH IM GUESSINGG IS A GIRL!! Let her know shes sexci in a special way. And that she NOT fat!

Well eating only celery for a week is a problem because your body won't get the energy it needs to function. What you need to do is either tell her that she really needs to eat because the habits she is starting are not healthy, or if you really think it will become a big problem, you should notify an adult or a teacher. Yes this may cause some major problems, but if you help her out in the long run she would owe you so much. Don't let this problem get out of hand because this is step one to the developement of an eating disorder. Help your friend see that what she is doing is not helping her, it is in fact hurting her!
