So I'm worried about my baby sister

[ApresMidi]

Okay shes not a 'baby'.
Shes 11.

But shes SO skinny at the moment.

Like, her back bones are protuding out and she doesnt even have to bend over much.

Shes got the slimmest stomach ever ,[I'm fairly jel xD] and ribs ,ribs and more ribs.

She says she wants to put on weight and is too skinny,but she doesnt really want to eat and declares herself fat half the time .
I dont know if she even knows what it is though , you know what i mean?
like ,she just has no idea what it is, if its anything.

I'm terrified.

I..have had minimal experience with an ED,i was about 13, I purged a bit and avoided food but it stopped,[though i fear its recurrying , I'm scared about study leave as I'm so tempted to binge/purge when alone. ]


But please, tell me shes okay.
Even if its a lie, ..

Can people get it so young?

Shes so pretty,I dont ever want her to go through anything ,feel the sadness I have, I want to lock her up in a bubble of innocence

:'( I just feel useless. :cry:

I think you need to encourage her to try new foods, not in an obvious way, but just keep an eye out for her avoiding foods that you know she likes and disappearing to the toilet after meals etc, just look for the telltale signs that you know as a result of your experiences. If anything you need to encourage her that she isnt fat, if anything she's thin. Worst comes to worst i.e she's ignoring you or you know for a fact that she has a disorder you need to raise it with your parents in a serious sit down way.
Hopefully there's something in here you can use.
