My sister restricts the amount and types of food she eats a lot, and there are some signs that she may be making herself sick.

I'm really really worried and scared that she might have/be developing an eating disorder. I don't know what to do at all. I don't know how or whether I should confront her about it.

I'm really worried and would really appreciate some advice :(

    Have you talked to her about it? She would seem like the obvious place to start.

    I'm just not really sure about how to broach the subject, or what to do if she just flat out denies it.

    Ask your parents to help.

    Talk with her...then tell your parents. when you talk it over with her.. let her know you are going to tell your parents so she doesn't feel like you're a traitor. Tell her you must because you love her and you don't have the answers to help her. Your mom and dad will know what to do. It is too much for you to take on...it is their job and they'd want to know. good luck.
