she has cut her food portion sizes down to like, nothing! and she is constantly drinking hot plain water, i don't know why. and she is always concerned about her calorie intake and how much she needs to exercise.
i've tried telling my parents about her eating habits, but they insist that she is just trying to be "healthy".
i keep advising my sister to eat a little more, but she mentally thinks that if she eats a little more, that she'll gain a whopping 10 pounds or something.
i noticed her eating today and all she had was for
breakfast : was a super small serving of fruit and a glass of fat free milk.
lunch: 1 boiled egg, a small serving of broccoli, and 1 incredibly thin slice of lean ham
dinner: fat free Yoplait yogurt and a glass of hot water.
how can i help my little sister?

i didn't mean to give you a diet menu, NO NO NO, i'm just showing what she ate TODAY, to show that she is NOT eating enough!!!! how can i help my sister eat MORE??? my parents are completely in denial!!! they think there is nothing wrong with her!!!

she wants to lose MORE weight. she was NEVER fat in the first place. but now she is like, super super thin.

Answer 2

i say, if you are truly worried about your sisters life then you should find another trusted adult like a teacher, school counselor, pastor, etc. Tell until someone helps. I'm thinking that maybe you should tell your sister that you are going to seek help for her elsewhere if she doesn't first though. In short, do what you feel is right, but certainly don't let her dwindle to nothing without saying anything. I'm sure that in the long run your sister will know that by your actions you truly love her.

Answer 3

Well, she is definitely eating healthily. It sounds as though she has gotten into a "phase" of eating healthy foods and trying to lose weight but it sounds as though she has become obsessed with it. She is at that age where weight becomes such a big issue (I know because I went through that). She should grow out of it. Is she continuing to lose weight? I would be very concerned if that is the case and would seek counseling with those that are knowledgeable in those areas.
Any hot/warm liquid consumed helps in bowel movements. At least she isn't regurgitating the food soon after she has consumed it. I have seen friends do that because they were trying to lose weight... it became compulsive...they were put in the hospital.

Answer 4

nicely smoking the two "weed" and cigarettes will decrease oxygen in the two your bodies. additionally it will improve the prospect of cancer lter in existence. in the journey that your sister has allergies, it's going to make it worse and obtainable turn it right into a COPD(think of allergies 24/7). Smoking in mattress is extremely risky. many people have died whilst they fell asleep with a lit cigarette. you're able to desire to to sleep in yet another eoom that has an elementary go out in case of hearth. Having the window open won't help.

Answer 5

If your parents won't listen try her school counselor. I'm sure there are also hotline numbers in your yellow pages or try your local hospital, they usually can direct you to the right place. A professional can help you more than anyone else.

Answer 6

well 1st of all I fell sorry for your sister and they have help programs for this something must have triggered this ask if people are making fun of her or something this could be because she is self conscious or something tell her that she looks nice and try to get her some help

Answer 7

for now you can give her ensure, its a high calorie drink, just maybe tell her it is a diet shake? haha

but yes, have her go to the psychiartrist....its very important. these things either lead to collapse, fainting, death or severe health problems.

Answer 8

Your sister needs psychological help. If she doesn't get it then she runs the risk of severe illness and/or death.

There was another model that died last week from your sister's condition.

Answer 9

Ya know what you should do?

You should watch the 'Insider' and make her look at the anorexic twins they always show and how incredibly disgusting and unhealthy they look.

Answer 10

I think your mother and father are right, she is just trying to be healthy.
She ate healthy today, but if someone was on a diet that's how much they are supposed to eat.
If someone has anorexia it mean's they don't eat at all.
If someone has bulimia it means they throw up what they ate.
But I think your sister is fine. If you are really concerned about your sister, then express your feelings to her, let her know that you are concerned about her, and you love her, and you want her to be healthy.
I wish you and your sister good health. You are a great brother!- My brother wouldn't even care if I was like that (LOL)
