hello withit

my advice to you is to

a) seek out a therapist for her

b) ask her if she would like to talk about anything that's upsetting/bothering her

c) try to cut out her watching mtv, (vids especially), pop-culture teen mags (ym, teen vogue, seventeen, etc.).............................very difficult to do, however..........

d) emphasize her talents unrelated to body image

e) try not to tell her to eat more..........she may rebel in spite of you saying this

i hope this helps you..................

yes, i think an ed consists of compulsive behaviours (the restricting, the intense exercising, purgeing, etc.) which accompany the obssessive thoughts of being/looking/feeling fat, feeling extremely inadequate, angry, depressed, very insecure....................etc. dunno; just my thoughts.

gd luck.
