Eating Disorders
A woman that has a friend who’s suspected of having an eating disorder should try and get closer to her friend. Getting to know if she has self-body issues, low self-esteem, trouble with her boyfriend, or weight issues.
If the friend is having trouble with weight by self or others the woman should offer to work out with her, diet with her, and uplift her spirits enough to get her to talk to a professional, her doctor, and a nutritionist. She can even offer to take her to lunches and dinners or offer to let her come over to eat. This is just something friends should do once in awhile anyway.
If the friend is denying the eating disorder but the women can clearly see weight changes or body frame transforms then the woman should seek professional help and look up signs, symptoms and helpful ways of getting closer to her friend in order to help her from endangering herself and ultimately safe her life. This can also include advising the friends family, boyfriend, and other close friends to help get the friend some help and better eating habits. This could sometimes back fire in that people with eating disorders do not like others to know their habits so the woman should really talk with a professional, doctor, or nutrition before confronting her or takling to others.

I think that your idea about getting to know the person really well is an excellent idea. You have to make sure that you are not making a huge mistake. I mean it would be worth the risk, but I would hate to offend one of my close friends when I was not absolutely sure. In my post I spoke about getting as much information on eating disorders as possible so you are prepared yourself. Great blog!
