my girlfriend saw a size 0 programme last night, and she's decided she'll go to the gym each day and not eat, I don't know her weight but she's not over or under, she's a healthy weight, and she WANTS to be underweight, she tells me she's not changing her mind, but promised to me she wont go under 105 pounds (7.5 stone) *she is 5ft5* (then added "although, i do get obsessed with things")


I want her to eat, but things she knows wont add too much weight, i have no idea what i can do, please help. x

p.s she's 16
 
Tell her parents dude... And take her to a anorexic clinic so she can see what damage this can cause to some people...
 
i told her i wont tell anyone and she don't want people to try to get her to stop, she told me shes made up her mind and she isn't changing it for anyone including me :(
 
have you tried telling her that she is really hurting her body? and that she doesnt need to lose weight?
 
yeah I've told her it's really dangerous to try to do this, and that she's a healthy weight and looks great, but she don't care. she really wants to be a 0 (uk size 4) i've even told her it'll be hard for her to find clothes, she wont be able to fit in her old clothes, tried everything
 
Is their a serious reason she's doing this?

and sorry to say this but she sounds really stupid, and oblivious of what will happen to her...
 
she is stupid... i keep asking why she's doing it, and she tells me not to talk about it... oh yeah, i should mention, i've been banned from bringing up the topic to her or anyone.
 
then i guess there is nothing we can do to help, she will just have to learn the hard way.

although i still believe that if you really do care for her you would tell someone that could help out and maybe convince her what shes doing can really hurt her.
 
there's a pretty good website availble on eating disorders and there is a section on how to help loved ones.. Check it out - you might find something useful



Though to be honest, when dealing with anyone with weight issues, either over weight or underweight, you lecturing them isn't going to help... Until they see they have a problem and are ready to do something about it - it won't change. Best you can do is just not enable her. Keep doing healthy things with her - and remind her how you like her just as she is.
 
Wait & See?

How long has she been doing the fast / exercise like a maniac?
She may not keep it up, then it's okay again.:confused:

Not to add to worries, but she can really do some internal organ damage if she starts to use (break down) her organs as fuel. That can happen on an all protein diet, too.

105 lbs is probably not too bad for 16.
If she talks about feeling hungry, could you suggest she eat something not fattening like a salad or broth? She could come to eat a little at a time...:confused:

Sorry for your situation!

any chance of introducing the benefits of doing it the right way? if she has the commitment of working out at that rate and obviosly has some serious drive she has the potential of looking better than a size 0... nutrition is a key factor she has to eat... but if she approaches it the right way she will get better results and feel great.
