If there are several people who are worried about the person who has the eating disorder, pick the one who has the best relationship with them. Before you talk to the ED friend, identify what your specific concerns are. What behaviors have you seen that concern you? Write them down for yourself ahead of time.

Getting angry, confrontations, pleas and threats will shut down communication and she or he will end up being defensive about their food behavior. What to Say Using the thoughts you wrote down ahead of time, address the following things in your initial discussion. ...
