sully573 Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 My sister has a serious eating disorder. she is 5'5 and only weighs about 82 lbs. She has been seeing several doctors for a few Weeks now, but I think that she needs more than this. She needs to be reached mentally. I've tried everything, and i can't get through to her. She just keeps losing the weight. Does anyone have any suggestions, or have any experience in this area? I dont want her to be in a hospital with a feeding tube. Please help me save her life.

Not for nothing, but this is a club orientated message board.. I dont really think anyone here can help you with your problem here.. ( Or maybe someone can ) I think maybe you should look into serious help, and not rely on us morons.. Hope everything works out for your family bro.. ------------------Twilo Sucks..

glowgirl Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 here's hope~~~ Being the weight that she is for her height is NOT good! Ask her if she wants to have a baby one day and if she says YES, tell her the baby would never survive, due to her lack of FOOD. Take her to a doctor for a diet so she can get healthy. And then kick her ass for being retarted....Good luck~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandie Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Well - I'm 5-5, and I weigh 108 lbs . . . and that's about 20 pounds lighter than i should be for my height - so 82 pounds is not good. I know a lot about this subject - I guess you could say i had an eating disorder myself, but one day came to my sense, and my bf was the same was i was, but she still has many issues - she's 5-5, 117, which imo is perfect - If you need to talk, etc, please email me - if it means helping another, i'm there -brandie@optonline.netluv,brandie------------------"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."brandie@optonline.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kytracid Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Dude I hate to say it but if she is losing weight cause she is doing E then u gotta intervene and stop her. I know it's kinda ironic that I am giving this advise, but I know that if my friends/family was in serious risk with drugs I would intervene and get them some help. I hope that your sis gets better bro. PLUR ------------------ "I want to get high, so high" (Cypress Hill) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
