I need help. my sisters belemic.

I need help. or my sister does. my sister has lost a lot of weight. shes 5’’ 8’ and was 150 and healthy and skinny but then she lost 35 pounds in almost three months and shes not eating anything besides apples and oatmeal. I herd her throwing up a couple times and at that point I had to tell my mom and I did and they went to the doctor and she has to go to a therapist and stuff like that but its still so hard to see her like this, I was out with her the other day and I had to turn my head away sometimes because I was sickened by how skinny she is. I love her so much and I look up to her for everything. I leggit hear her crying right now in her room next to me. I dont know what to do. its killing me watching her kill herself.

Answer #1

She needs help badly and my advice to you is to tell her she is beautiful no matter how much she weighs. It really does help a person feel better about themselves. If you are smart and have common sense DO NOT follow your sisters example of how to lose weight if she wants to live a healthy and long life with you along her side tell her to eat normally which is to eat 3 meals a day and for her to exersize one hour each day that is the only healthy way to lose weight. If you really love your sister you have to talk to her about her problems the first step to dealing with this problem is to admit you have a problem without this step nothing will work not even therapy. by the way it isn’t shame full to admit you have a problem it is actually quite responsible. please share this info with your sister. I don’t want any girl to think that they have to look a certain way because they don’t. WE are all beautifull because god made us beautifull. Why would you want to be anything else besides what god wants you to be. He looks out for us and he wouldn’t want to punish ourselves for stupid reasons like the MEDIA. I hope your sister gets better

Answer #2

she needs to get into treatment ASAP! It will not go away on its own. She needs to see an eating disorder therapist and medical Dr. Possibly may need to be hospitilized to get a treatment program in place and get her the help she needs.

I used to throw up on purpose and I lost 28lbs (im 5’7 and weighed 145) in 1month they put me in the hospital because my mom found out but then I was released after a week but my friend helped me keep my mind off of my looks and we would hangout and workout together she helped me see that throwing up isnt the only way to lose weight and keep fit now I love working out its very theoputic to me
