How to get her to be more healthy.

I think the best thing you can do, which it seems like you already are doing, is set a good example for her. If she is around people drinking water and eating healthy foods, eventually she may start to get healthier. Maybe you and your friends could say to her, “Hey so-and-so, we are all going out jogging (to the gym, any exercise). Do you want to come along?” That way you are not forcing her to do anything but she has the option to do it with the people she likes. Plus, you are not saying, “Maybe you should consider running”, but it is something that everyone is doing no matter their weight. As of the water issue…that is pretty serious. Maybe suggest drinking vitamin water or flavored water that doesn’t have lots of sugar or calories. If she is at your house, make sure your house does not have junk food that she can snack on while she is there. Do activities that are more active besides going to the movies. I read this story about a girl who was anorexic and everyone (her parents, teachers, some friends) told her how she needs to eat and bla bla bla. She continued to be anorexic and went to college. Her college roommates (there were two of them) were thin and healthy. Instead of telling her how she needs to eat like everyone else did, they said nothing and treated her like she wasn’t anorexic. The roommates showed the girl what a healthy lifestyle was: they ate healthy foods and exercised. Eventually during that year in college, the anorexic girl started to become more and more normal: eating more as the months went by. I thought that was a really interesting testimony: The girl wanted people to stop telling her she needed to get healthy because in her heart of hearts, I’m sure she already knew that. The same thing might be true about your friend (besides the water issue). Just be a good role model and continue being the wonderful friend that you are. Good luck. Peace :)
