Friends
and Family
If you are worried about your friend’s eating behaviors
or attitudes, it is important to express your concerns in a loving
and supportive way. It is also necessary to discuss your worries
early on, rather than waiting until your friend has endured many
of the damaging physical and emotional effects of eating disorders.
In a private and relaxed setting, talk to your friend in a calm
and caring way about the specific things you have seen or felt
that have caused you to worry.
