she only eat's because she knows she has to, but sometimes she barely eats anything for 2 or 3 days, feeling a little weak later and she admits.....i just don't understand how can this be possible...
why doesn't she like to eat? she's not anorexic...yet
WHAT CAN I DO?

Yeah it does sound like she is 'anorexic' not that people should be labelled really. The problem is people wait to long to do something and dont admit there is a problem until someone is thin and on deaths door. It is that serious.
If you have a good enough relationship with her you could talk to her and suggest she sees her doctor, or at least a counsellor to talk about her worries. If not, pass your concern onto your parents.
The best thing you can do is be a listening ear for your sister, and give her the time and space to talk about whats going on. You sound like a really good brother so I hope she will be able to talk to you.

I think your sister is starting to become anorexic. She's probably afraid to get fat, so she's stop eating. You'll just have to try to talk some sense into her. Tell her that she can eat healthy stuff like vegetables and protein. This won't cause weight gain. However, after she starts eating again, she will gain a little weight because her body was in starving mode.

Sound like she needs a doctor's appoinment fast.
Get her to drink water, and see if she will eat some bananas.
The water will stimulate her digestive tract and keep things moving.
Bananas are very mild and have a lot of nutrition in them.

It sounds like she is becoming anorexic. Try talking to her and tell her how worried you are. If she brushes you off, tell you're parents without hesitation

keep your eye on her buddy, i had the same problem with my daughter and eventually i sussed that she was making herself sick aswell.
its not pleasant but it happens.
Just be there for her and love her no matter what and keep trying to give her advice.
I spent two years casually taking the micky out of skinny people within earshot of her(and i'm skinny myself) it worked in the end but everyone is different eh?
I hope she's okay

sweetie, your sister needs help. she's either on drugs (for example ecstasy can take your appetite for at least 24 hours and if you are taking more than 1 it can take your appetite for days) or depressed. please keep an eye on her-you may want to mention it to a close family member or just take her to the hospital but know that something is definitely wrong
you are in my prayers

She's probly making an escuse for starving herself. Most girls starve themselves because they see all these tiny anorexic models on television and in magizines and it makes them feel "fat", when they really aren't.
