Why does my friend think eating 2 peices of bread makes her fat?

My friend is driving me crazy. She was talking to me on the phone and telling me how she ate 2 peices of bread with this bershetta spread and a muffin, and how she had been doing so well until she ate the 2 peices of bread. She thinks that every peice of food she eats is automatically going to turn into fat. She’s done some throwing up on purpose before and she just annoys me when she sats shes fat cause she ate 2 peices of bread. I want to yell at her when she does that. What should I do to make her stop thinking she’s gonna get fat from eating a tiny portion of food.

Answer #1

your friend seems to be going through bulima. you should warn her about the dangers of it, and that loooking like the models on TV is impossible. Also, tell her that if she doesn’t eat, she won’t get taller. If your friend wants to look like a model, then she should eat vegetables and drink plenty of water. Tell her that a little bit of bread once in a while is good

Answer #2

Of course you want to do what you can to help your friend. From what you’ve explained it sounds as if your friends heading towards an eating disorter, if she’s not already there. It’s extremely unhealthy to throw up everything you’ve eaten, so before it gets to out of control you need to get her some help. She may not want help, deny she has this problem, & say she’s fine..but you need to let someone know for her sake. You could talk to her parents, maybe a school counselor, or sibling. She will most likely be mad or upset with you for a while, but just keep in mind it’s what’s best for her in the long run. She will get over it and will probably be thankful you helped her after some time. Hope this helped even a little!

Answer #3

Not that it matters in terms of the detrimental effect it could have on her in terms of her physical and mental health, but I wonder how old she is?

Actually scrap that, it doesn’t matter, talk to her parents or somebody from her family that might be close to her. Doing this on your own could be difficult, especially if she shuts you out. If she has made her self sick before then it could really develope into a serious situation, which I’m sure you know.

Don’t worry about her being mad at you, for her own good you need to get her family involved.
