What can I do to help a friend through an Eating Disorder?

What kind of eating disorder?
When people have disorders there isn't much you can do except listen to their problems and be a good friend. And any low self esteem issues they have make sure to boost it for them. If it becomes dangerous I would talk to them about checking them into one of those places for eating disorders. I know that isn't much help but I try :)

Just be there for them. Let them vent to you. Don't pressure them into anything they aren't ready for. This is something they will have to do on their own...make sure they are seeing a therapist.. because the therapist will deal with all the reasons behind the ED..causing the person to eventually get better.

try to persuade her to eat but don't force her.
show that person you care and your their to support them.
keep reminding her to eat if she doesn't.
subtle urges won't go unmissed.
