First things first!

You have a sister who you think is suffering from a deadly disorder, and you're worried about how she'll look to PNMs?!?!?!?! Are any sisters coming alongside of her, and seeing if she indeed has anorexia? If she does, has anyone thought of making sure she gets the help she needs? Because if she does have anorexia so badly that she looks that awful, the chances are good that a good therapist will make sure that she's in a hospital, getting the care that she needs!

Hiding her in the kitchen would only increase her anxiety level and make her feel more inadequate.

If you or your sisters can't get through to her, and her family doesn't seem to care, talk to your alumnae about getting her help. This is a very real and nasty condition!!! We had a sister who managed to get herself down to 48#, and has to report for a weigh-in every six months to avoid being committed, even to this day. I hope you can show a little sisterhood to her before she gets that far gone!
