Friend went from being overweight to underweight in 4 months time. She used to be a size 13 in jeans and now because of her weightloss she brags about being a size 1 at 99 pounds at 5'4.
is it normal to lose like 50 ibs in just 4 months??? is she not eating??
it is NOT healthy to lose that much weight so quickly unless you weigh over 4 or 5 hundred pounds. Have a serious talk with them and if you think they are in danger tell a counselor or a local helpline in your area.
She DEFENITLY has an eating disorderm like ladybeagle said, takes one to know one.
Her BMI is 17, and even if it wasn't under the Anorexia BMI range [<17.5] she would probably have EDNOS [Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified].
She needs help.
You have right to be concernerned. Talk to your friend . Let her know how you feel. That's alot of weight to lose so fast and she really is underweight now for her height. Any more weight loss might end in a trip to the hospital for your pal. Let her know she is beautiful and not fat at all, and loved and cared about, i think she needs to hear that. good luck.
still thinks she's overweight? yeah, that's an eating disorder, honey. (takes one to know one, I know. thing of the past, thank god)
body dysmorphia causes you to not see yourself as everyone else does, and she CLEARLY does not view herself as others do. talk to her, or get some help, maybe?
Shes a little underweight but its probably nothing to worry about. But if shes loses any more weight maybe you should be worried. show her some information about the dangers being skinny
She plans to lose even more as she claims shes still a bit chubby.
Also, shes a medium build with a large bust so I decided to just go ahead and ask my friend who is a nurse. She says that based on her age, height and build that she should weigh no less than 120 putting her 20 pounds underweight and my friend wants to lose another 10! she wants to be 89..ahhhh so scary. I did talk to her, thanks but she claims shes not underweight..yadda yadda..arg.
i think its normal she has probably been excercising alot i dont think its because she is not eating
