I can't really do anything except talk to her from time to time. She's an internet friend, and that's the only way I talk to her. So I can't alert anyone if I wanted to...and I brought it upon myself because she was my buddy when I wanted to fast and starve.
After talking to her and seeing as she lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks I kind of wished I could go back to starving. But right now, if I wanted to lose 11 pounds in 3 weeks, all I had to do was 1200 calories a day. -=shrugs=- It just shows that healthy will definitely get you there. For all I know she'll binge soon and gain the weight back.
But alas...I'm not going to starve even under her influence because I'll definitely get there. And I can't even do 1,600 properly YET. But I'm gonna stick to my healthy plans (at least for my body), and not go into that...especially because so many of the women on here have tried starving and everything...and they gained all the weight back.
I estimate my journey to take 14-15 months. And besides, starving takes at least half of that time anyways...so I'd have to put in a whole load of effort. It would be very counter productive. And everyone accepts me as what I am, so I have no reason.
It would also have me worrying ceaselessly about food...and I'm just breaking out of that.
It's really a battle with patience...not with food.
Anywho...She is a good friend and doesn't want me to go back to my old ways, so there is no worries there. And with these good thoughts in my head and 3FC, my blog to keep me on track...I will keep putting along.
But one day I will have the degree and the experience and everything to help girls like her. And I'll be keeping my blog and experiences with me so that one day I might be able to show it as proof of my hardships and the such.
There are so many people with eating disorders...and many who would go to any lengths to get there...even hurting their own bodies. I don't see the point any more.
I hope you can still let her know that you care without getting involved in her stuff. I tend to agree that her parents should know, but I'm not so sure that you should be the one to tell them. Someone like a school counselor ought to do that.
