You suspect that something's wrong about your friend's eating habits. Deep down inside you, you just know that she might be a borderline anorexic. You are in a quandary: should I confront her or not? The answer, dear lady is, yes. Confront her but do so in the proper way. Here's how...
• Confront her in private if you really feel that her eating habit has gone unhealthy. Don't be judgmental so that she can open up to you.
• Don't jump the gun by saying, "I think you are anorexic!" Instead, cushion the blow by saying something like, "This is just a concerned observation, because I really care for you..."
• Be specific so that she can't deny and so that she will realize just what you really mean. Cite the time she forced herself to vomit or the fact that she checks her measurements three times a day!
• Know where to stop. Even if you are sincerely concerned, you have no right to run your friend's life for her. It is enough that you call her attention a couple of times. Beyond that, she makes the decisions. Before giving us on her, you can suggest that she seek professional help.
