unless she is throwing up what she eats on purpose and over exercising do not be too worried. She still cooks for him which is good. Many People with eating disorders will not even look at it, say the word or touch it in fear of the food and getting fat. So Maybe her metabolism just went up? Good luck!

Actually, cooking for others and not eating it is classic anorexic behavior. And that weight isn't just "maybe her metabolism going up."

As for what parents can do for a married 27 year old daughter? Easy answer: Express your concern, ONCE, to her husband. Let him know you're concerned, ask him to assure you that he is cognizant of the possibility of it being serious -- and then STOP. DO NOT discuss her weight. DO NOT discuss her eating habits with her.

If you can find her doctor's name, you can call and say you're concerned -- the doctor can't speak to you, but can listen. You can ask your daughter -- "Honey, we're worried you might be experiencing an eating disorder" -- but beyond that, the very best thing you can do is NOT try to be involved.

And listen to what she has to say. If she says, "none of your business," for heaven's sake respect that.

Sorry -- I know it's not what you want to hear. But you know what? From everything I've heard from others with eating disorders, and my own experience, I'm giving you good advice.
