Worried about my mum's diet.

I’m really worried about my mums diet. She is 38 and she walks and does a lot of exercising. And she hardly eats, she has lots of water,and mainly eats salads. I’m sooo worried about her, it’s also causing a lot of arguments ‘cause I mention it to her but she claims that she’s fine

Answer #1

is your mam very underweight you dont say although from what you do say she must be ask her why she is doing this to herself does she think she looks fat try and help her see that she looks great by trying to show her how small her clothes are and that she deserves to have a treat now and then she is very defencive for a reason it sems like she has to control what she eats as there is other parts of her life that she has no control over the eating diorder may not be the real issue it may be her way of dealing with other problems dont give up on her ask her could she try and talk about things with you and let her know you are always there for her

Answer #2

I wouldn’t say she is very underweight… but compared to all of her other friends she is thinner. She says she just wants to loose a little bit of weight. but she is losing a lot.

Answer #3

Yeah my dad is but he’s at work so doesn’t see that she never eats Oh wow… I’ll try that, thank you so much.

Answer #4

well if she is barely eating then shes not fine…she just does not want to admit that she has an eating disorder…is you dad at home…try talking to him if not then print out some stuff about eating disorders that has what she is doing on the paper and put it on her door or something.
