I have a friend whi is exhibiting these behaviors but it doesn't seem to fit any classic eating disorder. Here are her symptoms, can you tell me what she has?
-Intense fear of gaining weight
-Obsession with losing weight
-Not eating, or eatiing very little (only when no one is watching)
-Misuse of enemas
She doesn't exercise that much (doesn't really have a place to), but started this behavior about 1-2 weeks ago because her husband is a jerk who keeps telling her she's fat and comparing her to other women.
If she keeps this up, what will happen to her? Will she loose the weight she wants? And is there anything I can do to help? I'm scared she's gonna hurt herself.

This started when he told her that she was fat and did she want him looking at other women and possibly having an affair.
Then he started telling her what to eat and how much.
Now she doesn't eat. And if she does eat something (only if they go out somewhere) she only eats a salad and then comes home and uses enemas until she's "cleaned out".

I misstated something above. She does get exercise. She cleans the house from top to bottom everyday (4 hours total), and she goes for an hour walk every day.
