Okay you guys this is a really serious thing and i need your help. Im not writing for me but for my friend Antonia. Shes not fat or ne thing but she thinks she is. At the most she may be 15 pounds over weight. Today she told me shes throwin up after she eats. I told her about belemia and she didnt care her goal is just to be skinny. I told her it could get so bad she could die but she seriously doesnt care she just wants to be skinny even though shes only like 130! please help me i dont want her to die but she want listen to me! Its really hard to get her to listen because shes a very stubborn person and wants she sets her mind on somethin she usually does it which is scarin me so bad. Shes such an awesome friend and shes got alot of friends and we dont want to see her like this. Shes really active ( shes in show choir and shes on the pom squad ) and im afraid that if she doesnt eat, shes gonna get weak and really hurt herself even more. If anyone can help me itd be the world to me. I dont want to lose her as a friend! please reply with any suggestions im very worried!!! Sara

And unfortunately, if all this doesn't work, you are going to have to tell someone, preferebly a parent, o.k?? GOOD LUCK. I HOPE ALL GOES WELL FOR YOU AND YOUR FRIEND!! LUV KATE P.S. If your friend wants to talk to someone who HAD a eating disorder, tell her to e-mail me at soccerchic214 @msn.com GOOD LUCK AGAIN!!
