friend is beulemic

Okay, I have a friend who is also trying to lose weight, we both want to lose around 20 pounds...so I joined a diet...but she went beulemic! Any suggestions on what to do? (I hate to say this...but Im almost jealous of the rate she is losing weight compared to me)

ummm.... you could point her to anorexicweb.com (i think it's .com, it might be .net) for a pretty cool graphic example of what happens when you deprive your body of essential nutrients... and the fact that you can tear your stomach and esophagus and blow blood vessels in your brain... it's embarrasing to be fat, but it's more embarrasing to be found dead in your own bloody puke.  Also it screws up your teeth pretty badly...

Seriously, if she's a good enough friend, have a talk with her, express your concerns, and if it doesn't work, you need to tell someone, as crappy as that's going to make you feel.

Wow! Thats got to be awful.

You know, me and my 2 friends (were super duper close) We have an "Emergency word" That we can only use in SUPER emergencies and we cant even joke around with the word!
So if one of us starts smoking, or we find out that they are cutting (just examples) That is when we use the emergency word.
And we talk about it. I mean when we made up the word we told eachother that they HAVE to listen to this word because when we say it, its filled with EVERY SINGLE ounce of love in our heart. And that we care SOOO SOO much...okay Im kinda getting carried away here, but you get the point

What I am trying to get at, is that Eating Disorders are things that are HARD to get out of, trust me on this. And if you just let her know that you REALLY care for her and NEED her to stop this. Like how we do with our word. Then she might stop.
And if it doesnt work then please get her some help. Drag her to the councellor.
Hope this might help you a bit

Speaking as a recovered (or recovering) Bulimic, I can see where you're coming from.  It seems like the easy way out.  It's not.  Not only will the weight loss not last, when the weight comes back, it will come back with a vengeance.  You might feel like she's losing so much more weight than you are, but wait a few months, and you'll see that your weight loss has stayed, and you can be proud of it.  She will have put all her old weight back on, plus some, and will feel only guilt and shame.  It's not worth it.  It's not worth the risk to your health, or the damage to your self esteem, and self worth.  Work hard, and enjoy your sucess.  When you reach your goal, you'll be able to feel that pride of accoomplishment in knowing that you did what you set out to do, and you'll still be able to maintain the results of all that hard work.  Talk to your friend.  Let them know that you're there for them, and try to get them to understand that taking the "easy way out" isnt as easy as they think.  There are lots of great websites out there for families and friends of Bulimics, which give great advice on how to talk to your friend, and try to get them some help.  This is one situation where the earlier you can nip it in the bud, the more likely the behavior can be stopped before too much damage is done.
