On a happy note

my sister is having a baby in about 9 days!!! I am really excited to have a little neice. I live in massachusetts and my sister lives in north carolina so there is a lot of distance but hopefully at some point this summer I will get to see her and the new baby.

My girlfriend

I found out today how bad my girlfriends eating disorder is. She has been hiding it from me ever since I told her she needed to stop using laxatives to lose weight and that she needed to start seeing a doctor because I believe she needs help. She is about 5’4” and wants to weight 98 pounds. She reveled to me the blogs she has been keeping on twitter, tumblr and some other site. When I saw what she was writing I felt sick to my stomach. I could not believe she was fasting and not eating for so many days at a time. I also found out that the days she did eat she would only allow herself to eat 300 calories or less. If she ended up eating on days she wasn’t “supposed to” she would use laxatives and exercise until she burned and rid her body of all of the calories she ate. I am really worried about her and I’m not really sure what to do. She is already seeing a therapist but it does not seem like he is doing anything about it. She is on average losing a pound a day which comes out to about 7 pounds a week. I am afraid that she is going to starve herself to death. She says that on some days she feels weak and can not get up. She admits that she had a friend that is the same height as her and has the same goal. Apparently she is her new best friend. She keeps telling me that she will stop before it gets too bad but I know its not true. I know this is going to end badly and it just seems like I am helpless.
