I hope she gets better and I hope this helps other young women realize that getting help is ok.
Sorry for the blabing but I lived with someone with eating disorders and she is still not better to this day becuase she wont get treatment.

One of my sisters dieted to lose "just 5 more pounds" until she weighed 48 pounds. She was involuntarily committed, and still has to weigh in every six months to prove that she can stay over 90 pounds.
I'd like to say that she's fine now, but she's not. I have a photo of her at a sister's wedding, standing with the mother & grandmother of the bride. When I ask which woman is which, she is invariabally thought as the grandmother, from the damage she's done to her skin, hair, and health in general.
