Is this a eating disorder!?? HELP!?


She just started eating only 800 calories a day, she hates her weight, and is starving herself, and then only eating 800 calories, and tries burning them off. (what do i do??)

she has missed her period 2 months in a row so far, but she got her very first period 5 months ago, and her eating habits changed like 2 months ago also..
this morning she told me she was cold, and she looked pale (and it wasnt that cold actually)

thanks everyone!

yes things your describing sounds like she has an eating disorder. I really suggest you get her help right now since she started 2 months ago the earlier it is treated the easier it is recover.

obviously anorexia... well on her way to it.

The earlier you get a hold of the disorder the easier it is to treat.
The longer someone has it the more likely it is that they will resist and may not ever recover. If this is you stop now while you still might be able to.

If this isnt you this person needs an intervention asap.
This kills people

From what you said, yes it sounds like she has an eating disorder. Obviously it's hard to diagnose anything over Yahoo Answers though so you should encourage her to see a doctor, who may refer her to an eating disorder specialist for further evaluation.

First off her period could be off for 2 reasons- the eating habits and the fact she has not had it very long, they tend to be irregular. But it does sound like she is anorexic.

Yes, you have an eating disorder. Better get some help before you wither away for good.

pretty nasty one. ew. Get help. She probably won't want it though and you have to want help to get it.
