I’ve noticed some typical ED behaviours from my close friend and I’m worried she might be starting to develop an ED.

I’ve known her for 3 years and she was always okay with food and not overweight at all! However lately I’ve seen her skip meals, eat very little portions, count cals and lie about having eaten earlier despite not doing so.

What should I do about it? Do I confront her? What if it’s just my delusions? Please help

I’m worried about my very close friend. We’re basically inseparable now and we’ve spent all uni years together.

She’s always had a healthy relationship with food. She stopped eating when full, didn’t visibly restrict and so on. Just a normal person. However, lately I’ve been noticing some ummm you know what behaviour.

I saw her using a calorie counting app, obsessively checking step counting and cals burnt app, eating like barely nothing during our 8h classes (she even showed me half of a rice cake at 9am and said ‘breakfast time’).
Today when she was on the phone with her mom, she told her that she’d already eaten during lunch break, while in fact she didn’t.

I don’t wanna jump to conclusions but I know these behaviour too well. And what’s more, it’s taking a toll on me. I’ve struggled my bit: lost weight, gained, overexercised and so on, however we’ve never talked about my problems. But I’m starting to feel worse about my weight and eating habits. And first and foremost I’m worried about her cause I don’t want her to be going through all that.

How the hell do I talk to her without mentioning EDs? Like I’m sure she’ll be curious where did I get the knowledge from and so on yk what i mean.
I literally don’t know what to do.

TLDR;
I’m worried my friend might be getting into unhealthy eating patterns and idk how to confront her about it.

Hej Kraków jeszcze nie miałam takiego przypadku ale gdzie przyjmą mnie w miarę szybko z potencjalnym usunięciem ciała obcego z oka (kłucie przy mruganiu)? Nie sądzę że jest to tak powazne żeby jechać na sor ale zależy mi na szybkim czasie, a do okulisty na nfz terminy to żart
