Does my friend sound bulimic?

also, if she thinks shes fat thats another sign.

welll I think that she probaly is I mean I used to do it bt I didnt get that skinny bt you do lose weight so she probaly is. letmme know if you find out if she is or not

I have known people who are skinny and remain skinny despite eating a lot. be careful about saying anything to her, in case she gets offended if its not true. Watch out for her and if you notice she dissapears after meals (to be sick) then that’s a big clue.

Comfort her about it. If she seems nervous and such she probably is. If not maybe shes just naturally skinny

It’s kinda hard to know from what you’ve said… my friend weighed that much through out high school, high metabolism… no matter what she did she couldnt gain weight (and believe me she wasnt happy about it). So she could have a high metabolism. Or she could be bulimic. You’re not likely to view binging, most bingers do not do so in public… Purging not exactly the easiest thing to catch either, but it could take the form of exercising excessively, laxatives, vomitting, or periods of fasting… Honestly, at this point you havent got much to go on… What’s her self image like?

yes, she has an eating diorder and she is very underweight this is both dangerouse to her health/life and unhealthy 20% of people with eating disorders die the rest usually just lead miserable unhealthy wasted lives she needs to get help as soon as possible tell her parents everything you know about how she doesnt eat and that your worried about her then get them to take her to see a doctor and get her bmi (body mass index) calculated for her height and age he/she will tell her what weight range shes in and how much she needs to gain because shes underweight or tell them to tae her to a counsellor, hospital ect to get help and talk about her eating problems

Symptoms of bulimia include:

Repeatedly eating large amounts of food in a short period of time (less than 2 hours). Frequently getting rid of the calories you’ve eaten (purging) by making yourself vomit, fasting, exercising too much, or misusing laxatives, diuretics, ipecac syrup, or enemas. Misuse of these medicines can lead to serious health problems and even death. Feeling a loss of control over how much you eat. Having binge-purge cycles. Feeling ashamed of overeating and very fearful of gaining weight. Basing your self-esteem and value upon your body shape and weight: http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/bulimia-nervosa/bulimia-nervosa-symptoms

Take care !!

she might be or might not be. I know girls who can eat junk all day long and stay skinny. if you are worried about her then keep an eye open for signs. if you notice her going to the bathroom a lot after meals listen through the door to see if she’s throwing up. if she is then you should approach her about it. if it turns out that this is her problem, then make sure when you talk to her about it that you are considerate of her feelings. talk to her out of love, not any negative feelings k. good luck to you and your friend.

normally girls with bulimia , including myself, do excersise.. quite a lot normally. shes young and probably just has a high metabolism.. lol it’ll catch up to her in a few years most likely. if she goes to the washroom for more than 5 minutes after she eats a lot thats a sign.. but if she feels fine after she eats all that junk , then dont worry.
