I have this "friend" who has been developing strange behaviors over the past couple of weeks. She is medically overweight, but looks good. She gained all the weight from taking Zyprexa awhile back. She used to weigh 117 lbs. She gained until 165 lbs. Since the weight gain, her family would make harsh comments about her recent weight gain saying "Are you pregnant?" "You look pregnant." Ect. She wants to lose weight. She is desperate to. She threw up the first time about a couple months ago. Just recently the purging is getting worse. Last night, she ate lots at iHop, but when we got home she threw it all up. This morning, she threw up her drinks. Even a nutritional drink. She wants to go to sleep to not feel hunger. She has lost some weight in the past few days. Now she weighs 158.8 lbs. This encourages her behavior knowing she is losing. She sees a psychiatrist for other issues. He weighs her before every appointment. I'm sure if he sees the significant weight loss next month he will question it.
This "friend" is me. I hate to admit it. I don't want to stop, but I need to talk to someone.
