My Friend is still on the crash diet. Most of the time she only does this kind of thing for like a day or two. Well this time i believe she is serious. She does this kind of thing for attention, so conventinal methods don't work. It turns out thatthis is linked to her relationship with her parents. They keep telling her " if you keep eating like this, you'll blow up like a balloon!!". She has taken it to heart this time and is skipping meals. I can't just tell her that i am there for her, it has no affect, she just keeps starving herself. Me and my friends keep telling herself that she's not fat, but she doesn't listen. Any ideas?? PLEASE HELP!!!!

Although it may be embarressing for you or your fiends, if one of you is bigger than her, tell her that she's not fat and use yourself as an example. This happened with one of my firends, and another (who is, larger, than her) said she wasn't, and she started eating a little. And also let her know that crash diets enver work. If you wanna know why, it's cause the fat cells are already stored in your body and are balooning wiht everything you eat, so you need to actually diet, not crash.
And also, it sounds like her parents arn't very kind to her, so let her know that she doesn't always have to listen to them.

tell her parents that because of the things they say to her she is breaking down and hurtin herself
tell her u luv her and will always stand by her but that what she is doing is hurting her and when she is hurting your hurting
tell her she needs to stop because the only way she can get fat is if she eats junk and never ever excercises

go online and look up anorexic pictures, and show her pictures of them and tell her that if she keeps doing this then she will look like this! and tell her that you love her and comfort her as much as you can! and talk to her parents cause they are theones that are making it worse for her!
