Dieting Pronto

Question: I've noticed something about my friend, is she going on her "diet" again?

Okay so my friend before she started dieting I noticed she ate nothing but calcium one day, then protein the next. Then she went on her extreme diet, the "Rainbow Diet " in case you don't know what it is its an extreme diet, and its really bad go look at any stupid Pro- Ana site. So when she was on this she dropped down to like 102 pounds. From 125 to 102 in like a month or so. So her friends (including me) all went to a really nice and trustworthy school teacher (who battled anorexia) and we all went in her room and ate our meals in there everyday. So she had to finish hers otherwise she couldn't go to her next class. We all ate everything to make her feel better. But, now I've noticed she's wrapping her fingers around her wrists and constantly pinching her thighs, stomach, and arms. My sister and I are staying with her for most of the month of February our parents are away on vacation. Anyways, yesterday she ate nothing but calcium then today I watched her and I see she's eating nothing but protein. This is what happened last time then tomorrow she will cut done calories severely! What should I do?!?!?! I don't want her to be mad at me If I tell someone, she's one of my best friends!

Tell her parents. They will take her to a doctor. The doctor can explain to her how bad these diets are, maybe even show her some pictures. You'll be glad you did. Hope this helps! :)

Tell a trustworthy adult, as this is not a good sign hun, if she is falling into the same pattern that ahe did the last time, get her help before she starts to seriously affect her health as losing a vast amount of wait in such a short time is really unhealthy and can have severe health complications if she does this for a prolonged time e.g organ failure etc etc...!!!
