Question How little is 2 little?

Hey! This is my first post...and I'm just curious as 2 what the warning signs of anorexia are? Is it completly not eating? Going for weeks, months without food. Or could it be just eating one small meal a day? My friend seems to be losing weight rapidly...at least 20 pounds over the past 2 months. I do see her eat, but usually only once a day. If you are anorexic or have beaten it. What did your days and weeks look like?
Any info would be of great help.

Hi terrible_ static.

Does your friend go to the bathroom after they eat. If so He/she could be froceing them selfs to throwing up what they just ate.When i was anorexic i would eat just one meal a day but then i would force my self to get sick or i would take laxatives 1 hour before i ate that way what ever i ate would just go right though me. you might wan't to keep an eye on your friend to see if she is taking any pills before they eat. And if they are then you have your answer as to why they are looseing so much weight.Being anorexic is a very hard road to go down. What ever you do don't tell your friend that she looks like she as gained weight. That will throw her in a painc stage. She then will try and loose more weight. When i was anorexic the more people toald me i looked like i was gaining weight the more i thought i had to loose. I still to this day think that i am fat i only weigh 130.I would like to get down to 99 pounds i am 5'2 i still have a fear of geting fat. so maybe your freind thinks the same way . Girls and women always wan't to be skinny. After all that is what this world is pushing movie stars to be like.And so other girls see that and that is the way they think they must look like.
I hope i have helped out Let me know how things work out.

Josephine

unless she was really overweight before, I would be concerned about someone loosing weight taht quickly. One meal a day is too little.
