How can I tell if my friend has an eating disorder?

[sena2gurl]

have a friend who'se 5'11 and she weighs 105 pounds! Could she possibly have an eating disorder? I know shes not bulemic because she never uses the bathroom, but whenever we're at a restaurant she eats a few bites and claims to be full. She drinks only diet soda and never stops talking about her weight. She brags about being skinny, though. Could she have an eating disorder or is she just really skinny?

Of course she can. Mate, people at this forum can't answer these question because they didn't see her and don't know how this problem looks like and how far it already went. Anyway, about this thing you should talk to specialist doctors, they should help you.

Well we cannot say just like you have described about her that she has eating disorder. Is it that she eats this much only from the begining or she had any problem at some age and from then her diet has changed.Does your friend have a proper body or thin? It may also be related that your friend may be suffering from any stress that she cant tell anyone. Just talk to your friend about it alone & calm her down.
