What advice to give to someone who thinks they may be getting annorexic?

Sorry if i spelled annorexic wrong, but i have a really good friend who thinks she may be becoming annorexic. What advice could I give to her? She's beautiful and I dont want to see her get hurt. She's skinny but not annorexic skinny...yet. I'm worried. She hasnt done anything bad about it yet but she thinks she might. Thanks.What advice to give to someone who thinks they may be getting annorexic?

Just be there for you, tell her you are there for her if she ever needs to talk.. she has to find her own help.. thats the only way it can be done. She may not even think she has a problem but you know she does. Talk to someone you can trust.
Just be there for her. Keep giving her the heads up. Another thing you (and her) might want to do is talk to guys and get their opinion. When it comes to our appearance, we usually consider the opinions from the opposite sex. If I guy told me that I was losing muscle, I'll brush it off. If a girl told me the same thing, I'm heading straight to the gym.





I'm a straight guy (and to be bluntly honest), most of us like T%26amp;A or some sort of it. To see a girl who's annorexic or way too skinny (by choice), it's very very unattractive.





Hope this helps. :-)
Let her know the problems with being annorexic.





How it can make your hair grow in thicker (on your face and arms), how not eating slows your metabolism (making you burn less fat when doing normal activities and burn off any food she does nibble on slower), how it can mess of your period, how it can make you lack energy and put black rings around your eyes, etc., etc. The list goes on and on.





Tell her if she has the will power to stop eating completely, then she has the will power to restrict her eating and lose weight healthily. It's better her eat less than not at all.





Start weight training with her.. find a gym you guys can go together, if possible, and take a body works class (light weights, lots of reps, usually packed with women). If you do it together, it'll be fun. I'm sure she's skinny, but getting a firm body and some sexy muscles might boost her confidence. If you can't find a cheap gym, maybe you can rent a weight training DVD or work out at the school gym or something.
Your getting fat.
