Anorexia?

Hi Julie,

I’m a concerned Mom of a 16 year old girl that has a 17 year old friend who has been loosing weight rapidly lately….. Had a very tiny little figure to start with, but doesn’t see that when she looks in the mirror…. Her Mom is aware of the problem… but I would like to know what I can do to help? The girl knows she has an issue.. so is it better for me to just not mention it.. and love her like I always have? or to sit down and talk to her? My daughter says she’s tired of people talking to her about it.. but I am just so concerned. What are symptoms to watch for that things are getting really out of hand?

Thanks.
