hi, im concerned my friend may have an eating disorder. she has dropped about 15 lbs, and while shes very thin now, if she lost any more weight it would be bad. im a runner, and she is using running as "exercise" but its really to lose weight. Please help, ive already tried saying a little something to her, but she gets very defensive :/

How did you decide that posting on LRC would be your second step in helping her?
Don't be a dick, letsrun is a great place to bring these kind of sensitive issues up without compromising anyone's anonymity.
Take her to counseling....
Then force feed her chips, doughnuts, and cake.

Give it time, there are numerous people who have recovered from eating disorders who often chime into these conversations. That kind of firsthand advice is worth ignoring a few snarky pricks.
thank you for the nice repliess guys.
Seriously? Counseling, support and friendship, not necessarily in that order. Good luck.
