she's been saying things like "i just have to get serious again/more strict" (because she gained a little bit of weight), "i feel good when i don't eat even though i'm hungry" and "when i eat i feel like shit, i should just not eat y/y" and she's always talking about working out and how she doesn't feel like she's done a good job unless she's like sweating and sore when she's done.
no she's not seeing a therapist and her family can't afford it so she probably won't ever, even if this does become a big problem. i hope it doesn't get that far though. :(
nayrt but from the perspective of someone in recovery from ed just sort of naturally conversing with her when she makes these comments are probably the best way to go? like when she talks about restricting maybe just remind her to be kind to herself, and that eating regular meals is healthier than skipping them without being condescending. tell her that she looks nice as well without being condescending, especially when she's talking negative about her body.
