Thanks for your responses. I also want to go into psychology.
My friend is trying desperately to lose weight. She is like a lot of us, maybe 10 lbs or so more than SHE thinks she should be. I am going to talk to her about it, but only when I have the information I need to back it up. This should be soon since I only work a half day. I have found so far to watch for dehydration by the tone of the skin. I haven't mentioned the incident to ANYONE yet, but found out she has been on some program/diet that uses food combinations instead of pills. I knew she was getting slimmer, but thought it was due to diet and exercise.
The thing is, she "cheated" on the diet and to make it look like she was still following it and losing the weight safely, she turned to laxatives! We have had SO MANY conversations about girls at school who either vomit, take pills or use exlax. All of us talked about how damaging it could be. Maybe this is a case of negative publicity creating interest.
She does have a much closer friend than me. They have been best friends forever. Should I mention it to her and maybe we could talk to her together?
