im scared for her...

i have a best friend i am extremely worried about.  She has always been really skinny but eaten like a pig.  A few months ago she started complaining about EVERYTHING on her body and how fat she was...she was still skinny too.  And people at lunch and stuff started calling her fatass....she had a nice sized butt and ate alot but still she was a size 0.  This is when she started scaring us.  She no longer eats like any junk food...doesnt eat breakfast....eats like a carrott at lunch...and her mom is never home so she has to be responsible for her own dinner which most of the time is cereal cuse she cant cook.  She has gotten a tredmil and has become a little obsessive with working out and always makes an excuse not to eat.  She has twice had a major binge in front of me and my friends after we know she hasnt eaten for a while.  She looks sickly and her "fatass" people used to refer to has dissappeared. 

My friends and i have confronted her, the counselorrs at school, our parents, her mom, everyone.  But no one takes it seriously enough.  My mom did for a while but then once my friend found out people were getting concerned she started "eating" around us a little more so it made her seem normal.  I am really worried because i know the downside of this.  Everyone in our school thinks there is something wrong but no one really is doing anything and im getting so angry.  I dont know if im over exaggerating but i dont know what to do.  Any suggestions???

Something Fishy

Others here will be by to offer you advice on how to handle the situation.

try and talk to her, i know you know how i feels to have this problem so you shouldtry and tell her the downside of things and just let her know your there for her. when she eats in front of you does she look uncomfortable or no? i know it can be hard, but please try and talk to her. Also, spend more time with her so she has no time to work out.

thanks for the responses! and i have tried talking to her, and ive let her know all these facts about like starvation mode and how eating too little is bad and can actually make you gain and how its slowly killing yourself and that in a "healthy" diet its fine to have one measly cookie and stuff but she seems to just stop listening when i start talking about stuff like that.  And yes she always is looking around at others and it seems like she needs permision to eat.  Like i had to tell herto eat another bite of her pototoe cuse she was like im hungry and im like uhm ur foods in front of you and shes like but i feel fat and im like but your hungry so eat the fricken food**i shove a huge bite in my mouth** you see ive eaten 3 times the amount you have and do i look fat...NO!!!! so she picks up her fork and timidly eats another bite.  I just get frustrted at my friends that are like this and i cant stand being around them.  Especially when after eating shes like arent u in a working out mood!!! and gets up and starts running around and doing situps/ jumping jacks/ etc.and i have to like throw her to the ground and make an excuse for her not to!
