Prayer-thanks.

And to ALL of you, who have offered prayers and advice. If I respond individually to every kind wish, I will double the length of this thread, unnecessarily. So please understand: To all, Thank You.

Good luck to you. I had a friend who was bulimic and it was really frustrating to have her acknowledge how messed up that life is and yet do it anyway. And something to consider, that you won't want to believe, is that now that you know about it, if she isn't ready to change, she'll hide it from you.

I remember buying my friend a nice meal in a restaurant and then physically babysitting her to not leave her alone for many hours. I told her if I was buyin' I wouldn't stand for her just throwing it up. Of course, it wasn't about money.

It's just so frustrating to see someone doing something so irrational to themselves. My friend eventually drifted away from me, she didn't want the help I was forcing on her. I'll pray that you have just the right amount of wisdom and tact to not alienate her, but she'll have to make this change herself.
