Can you tell me if these girls have an eating disorder? Please let me know!? I've known these 2 girls for like 9 years. We used to go to school together & when we started Junior High(7th grade)we all got interested in our looks(like most teenagers). Towards the middle of 7th grade they started dieting & exercising all the time. They would bring like half a sandwich & some baby carrots for lunch & maybe a few crackers & thats its. When the school year was over, I was talking on the phone to one of them & she was so excited because she had lost 17lbs in like 4 months & they have been going at the same rate for almost 3 yrs now. I have only seen them a few times since the end of 7th grade different & everytime I see them they look thinner & thinner & look very tired & look like they need vitamins or something. They both have sites similar to myspace & they leave comments for each other saying they can't wait until this summer so they can diet. And they leave comments saying "I throw up sometimes". Do you think they have an eating disorder? Please let me know.
