Hi there, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I think the best thing to do is to try and show her how to eat healthy first. She would probably want a point of view from one of her friends rather than an adult. If things are not turning out to be any better, then you really need to contact an adult. The problem with this is that she may feel like you have betrayed her. If you two are truly friends, she'll see that you did it for her own benefit. 2-3 times a day for a year is a lot. It can be very dangerous and this is putting her life in danger. And trust me, I'm a teenager too so I know what it's like. Good luck, and if you need anyone to talk to, I'm here!

You (presumably a friend of family member) do not treat someone who has an eating disorder. You cannot simply talk somebody out of a mental or emotional disorder. Some treatment options include individual, group, &/or family psychotherapy, medical care & monitoring, nutritional counseling, & medications.
People with eating disorders depending on the seriousness of their disorder.. are dealt with in different ways. If someone has a serious eating disorder, to the point where their body and mind are suffering from it.. which is most instances is the case.. those people must go seek professional help. Not only because they are permanently damaging their bodies, but their mental health suffers from the disorder as well. Professional help is the best bet for helping victims of eating disorders. A close personal friend of mine dealt with an eating disorder for the and they turned her life around.
This doesn't sound like an eating disorder (unless the friend is bingeing/purging) . It sounds like depression. When someone is depressed, they often gain weight and don't have the energy to lose the weight that they want to.
Tied Together With A Smile; by the way her friend was battling bulimia
The school may ask you to speak with a counselor, contact your parents, or recommend that you seek treatment..A friend of mine had an eating disorder and when she didn't confess they contacted her parents anyway, either way the school is just trying to help and if they suspect something be honest.
Bulimia is a dangerous and sometimes fetal eating disorder. If you or a friend has it, tell an adult IMMEDIATELY! They can help you or your friend overcome bulimia. And it is your friend who has bulimia and you are scared that if you tell she will be mad, don't be. she might be mad now but she will thank you later.
Probably the best thing you can do is to read all you can on eating disorders so you can understand her problem and let her know you will be there for her no matter what.
