if she got down to 85, it probably would put her in the hospital, you are n't doing her any favors by encouraging her, trust me

First of all How Tall is she? I am 5ft tall/ 38 years old and I weigh only 4 pounds more then she does. When I was 18 I only weighed 85 pounds. You know some people get the idea that being skinny is the same as being healthy, well take a look at some of those runway models, they look so sick, you can count their ribs from 5 mile away. This society says that a girl/woman must look a certain way and our children, mainly teenagers, are getting eating disorders because of this.

Try to educate her, if she diets she will probably gain the weight back and them some more. A healthy lifestyle is more important. But get her to read books on proper nutrition, and since she's that young, you can still intervene by getting her professional help while it's not too late.
A brazilian model died a few months ago, she weighed 85 lbs, not trying to be mean but it sounds like your sister is under pressure to be super thin and not thinking about her health.
I hope the best for you and her, but any weight loss over 2 lbs a week is unhealthy.

Yahoo has a few individuals right here who move the further mile to deliver pleasant recommendation and good idea out solutions. In polls and surveys, you're sure to get plenty of crap solutions together with the well solutions... as can occur in any phase, now that I suppose approximately it. I do not ask relatively individual questions right here, however have requested a few that have been foremost and took sincere idea and received a few pleasant solutions. Depending on what I wish or have to understand, I ask on Yahoo and individuals in my everyday lifestyles.
