Not only is this unhealthy behaviour but it's actually dangerous. Eating disorders do lasting damage to the body if not treated and are potentially lethal. If your mother doesn't go herself your family should make sure she does. | ||

Dude... An eating disorder that gets to that point is a serious issue. Don't wait any longer. Get her professional help. Therapy by a psychiatryst and support from you guys will be her only way out. I just hope you can find the strength within you to stay cool and keep being there for her. Stay strong, mate... She needs you. | ||

Other than that it's hard to determine who to go to. Searching the internet just throws up a bunch of individual webpages and a list of possible therapists/nutritionists/dieticians/psychologists/counselors in the area (some of whom are more into alternative medicine than anything else afaik). I'm hoping she can just get a trusted referral from her company. Otherwise it feels like I'll be picking names out of a hat and hoping they work, but I suspect any licensed professional treatment is better than none at this point. | ||

Last week, she said that she's too busy, that it's too expensive, that she'll go in October. Then she turns around and says today that she wants to visit me in Chicago this month when I go back (right before school starts) to have a little vacation, and I'm just like, "With the plane ticket there and back, you can go to 2-3 therapy sessions. Also, what happened to being too busy?" I know I hurt her by saying that, but seriously? What the hell? Are you too "busy" to take care of yourself or aren't you? Is it too expensive to take care of yourself or isn't it?  (She did hit 86 lbs yesterday though, so that is an improvement. I think she is eating a little bit more. It is just super-weird to me that she spends so much time looking at food magazines at the store and reading recipes or watching the food channel -- I swear, the food channel is always on when she's watching TV -- but not eating asdfsjk;df;asdf) | ||

Keep working on getting her there. | ||
