I was anorexic and bulimic.

It started about four years ago mostly because of my mother. I started taking yellow jackets, like jazz was saying her friend did, and was starving myself. It was because I had nothing else to do. I wanted to be beautiful and thin...but also, I had no other hobbies, really.

I lost 22 pounds and was down to 98 pounds when I finally ended up going to France- my dream country- to see one of my friends. While I was there (three months) I had something to do and learn and see. I began to eat again. This induced binge eating which rocketed me up to 125 pounds. I finally realised I had a beautiful passion to live for- France. And with that, I began to slowly and healthily lose 10 pounds to get to my ideal weight.

I would suggest getting your friend some professional help. Also try to get her to some how pick up a hobby or a passion. Encourage her.

Sorry for the long post. I hope everything works out with your friend. Definitely DEFINITELY get her some help.
