...See more Hello, ive noticed over the past 1 1/2 year my best friend is anorexia or has some sort of eating disorder. shes very thin and doesn't usually eat at lunch having small bits of food here and there. Ive tried little things like bringing snacks i know she likes or trying to offer her food but im not sure what effect this is having. Ive never had a eating disorder and i have no clue what is the best course of action or what little actions i can take. Ive made mistakes a few times like once i accidentally commented on how little she weighed when i was spinning her in a spiny chair and she got visibly uncomfortable so i just want some advice on what i can do to help her (or at the least lessen whatever negative effects i could have on her)  I've talked with her somewhat about it before and all she asked of me was not say anything about her weight again (very understandable). either than that i havent really mentioned it to her beacuse im afraid of messing things up or pushing her to talk about something shes not ready for. I dont think her situation is currently life threating (at least i hope not) but any advice would be wonderful!!
