step mom too skinny
my step mom broke up and moved out of our house about 8 months ago. The split was really sad and rough for everyone in my family, but especially her. We didn't get along great when she lived with us, but now i try to see her every few weeks and we get along well. The thing is, she has lost A LOT of weight. She used to be average, but maybe a little chubby but she went on the south beach diet and stuff. I'm pretty skinny for someone my age (15) and she is skinnier than me! I'm really worried. When I'm around her she eats plenty, like icecream and fries and stuff, but why would she be so much skinnier than she was before the divorce? I don't see how she could be anorexic or anything, cuz she's like 50, but i don't know what to do. I feel really awkward talking to her about it, cuz i'm like the kid, it should be the other way around and it's not my responsibility to be the parent. But still, what should i do???

hey
don't immediately resort to thinking she's doing this on purpose or anything, she may be very depressed/stressed from the split, and massive stress can make you lose weight.
if you feel awkward about it, write her a note syaing you're worried, as much as you two didn't get along much before, and want to know if she's okay..
let me know how it works out! and i hope she's alright!!

She is probly slightly depressed still from the devorce/spilt/breakup. Tell her that we are worried about her wieght and that she should start eating more again. Don't forget to tell her that "we" are worried about it because when you imply that more than just you is worried about it she will take it more seriously.
*hope i helped*

old people can still be anorexic, but it sounds like she's eating. could she be bulimic? you might wang to talk to her.
