so pretty much my best friend is gorgeous, but she cant see that. shes never been overweight or underweight, but shes never been happy with how she loooks. in the last few months shes been working out OTT and not eating at all. im a personal trainer, and have stressed to her that she needs to be eating to fuel any work out and she needs to give her body time to recover, but its not that easy for me to get her to listen seeing as shes only ever known me as underweight my whole life and thinks that its better to be skinny than 'healthy'. and she claims that its not fair that i eat crap all the time and am skinny, but i should just point out i have suffered from anorexia (on off since early childhood), im not suffering now, but for that reason its hard for me to say to her, yes i might but thats all i'd eat in that day, maybe even week.
in turn she knows i exercise obsessivly and its not healthy, but im worried to approach her incase she tells me im hypercritical.
im just worried for her, i dont want her to get sick and i can see the signs. shes not ever been skinny or fat, and she cant see thats how its meant to be, so yeah...... if anyone can give me any advice on anything to say, or if anyones had anything similar, and yeah im just yeah......

for me it was when my friend that had a problem like that in her past told me that I was getting bad but she just invited me to Panera and we sat outside where nobody else was and ate our salads and had that talk so maybe just calmly taking her somewhere like that? I'm sorry I'm not much help all I've got to share is how it happened for me0
