[QUOTE="klmno, post: 39716, member: 3699"] Maybe the counselor is just trying to be her "person on her side" by believing everything she says, I don't know. But, I would definitely keep an eye out on it. I am about 5'-1 1/2" and was pudgy around 13 yo, then as an older teen, was so stressed out that I went down to about 90 lbs or less- not bulimic but could not eat or when I ate, was so stressed that I couldn't keep it down, unintentionally. I don't know the circumstances, but it seems there is a small chance that she knows something isn't right with her eating and keeping it down and she's assuming it is anorexia or bulimia. If she starts losing weight suddenly, I'd get her to someone. But try to keep in mind, in my humble opinion, it's not necessarily that she's anorexic like "I think I need to lose weight"- it can sometimes be that the person loses all apetite or when they eat, they can't keep it down due to other stresses. If she starts losing weight suddenly, it's not just for attention. If she doesn't lose weight or is acting sick, then it does sound like a cry for attention for something else. [/QUOTE]
