I Don't Know What To Do

that she went on a diet, but I think she has taking it to the extreme. She hardly ever eats, and when she does it is very, very little that is if she will eat anything at all. I have talked to her about her eating habits, and she says she is okay, but I don't think she is okay. Sure, she isn't underweight or anything, but I'm afraid she is going to be anorexic or bulimic. She sometimes purges after meals, and I'm not sure if it's on purpose or if she really does get sick if she eats too much. Does anybody know anything I can do to help?

When the body goes for extended periods of time without food and then normal meal portions are consumed, the person can get stomach pains and or vomit. Mainly because your body is now on a cycle where food is not regularly consumed. Regardless, it sounds like your GF is a binge eater. People who bing go for countless days without consuming an expected amount of food, then when they do eat, they either overeat and feel sick, or overeat and vomit not necessarily intentional. I think that you should speak with her best friend or a family member that is close with her. Although, at this moment she might not be categorized as having an eating disorder... it seems like she is on a fast track to developing one. Best of luck.
