Okay my sister is in her late teen early adult stage. She is short and really skinny and probably around 95 lbs. She eats I'm sure of it, but sometimes she is in the bathroom for a extended amount of time, either purging or taking a number 2. I don't think its the latter because its multiple times a day. And sometimes I see some broken up pieces of food and I can't tell if its throw-up or the other. I could never go either way with it, but today I found something. I found a notebook (with pages torn out) which had a record of what food she at and exactly how many calories were in it. It also had something that said she walked at the gym and "dump it all" I don't understand the latter. Could you help me understand?

If she really has an eating disorder, I don't know what to do. Should I confront her? We are siblings, but we aren't exactly close anymore after something that happened. I want to confront her, but she has a VERY bad temper, like I would call her name once and she would yell back "WHAT?!". I've thought about telling my parents, but I'm not exactly close to either of my parents. (I know thats bad, but I can't help it...trust me). Plus my mom is not very bright (not an insult, she didn't finish high school).

ONE MORE QUESTION!
What are some kickbacks of self-purge? Is it really that serious? I always hear its bad, but b/c of what?
 
you have to tell she could be killing herself. People need nutrition form food to survive without it we die. This is nooooooo joke so dont play it off like one. She needs help. She is mean to you because of her eating habbits when someone is unhealthy they mess up their chemical balances in their brain.
 
Anorexics are frequently destructive to those around them. You have your own challenges growing up, so be careful not to become sucked into that orbit. The areas of damage done by purging include malnutrition, tissue damage, damage to teeth, and psychological damage depending on the severity. Your parents are obligated to take care of you regardless of how you or they feel.
 
Soon, it will be hard for her to keep food down even if she tries. It doesn't matter if you are close with your parents. She could die from this. Her enamel on her teeth wil also rot off. If someone is skinny and worries about weight there is a problem. Unless she is trying to gain. Tell your parents. You might save her life. Maybe listen while she is in the bathroom to see what is going on. Good Luck
 
Oh dear, i'm sorry.
You should confront her, she probably is bulimic.
I used to be until my brother died :{
and it was bad, I did it in public restrooms as well.
I wouldn't tell your parents, at least at first.
In fact, you should inform her of everything about it.
Weight isn't everything.
Not allowing your body to get all of it's proteins and all of that corrupts growth in your body, including a girls breasts, and I'm sure if not now, later on she will care about the size of them.
It is a serious matter, I never thought so either but I looked into it.
It can cause irritation in her stomach, and asophogus, it slowly but surely helps rot your teeth like smoking.
I can become a terrible habit. After a long period of time and it being bad, it can cause death. I don't remember exactly HOW but I do know for a fact it does.
It's a hard habit to break, but she can do it.
She's young and shouldn't worry about her weight, especially if she's under 100. I went out of whack when I went over 100lbs or even got near there for the first time, but it's not heavy! she's just growing up and her bodies maturing and her bones are still growing and developing making her obviously heavier but not at all in all the wrong places.
Breaking her food obsessive habits is a really hard habit to break, but she has to learn to do that.
Good luck<3
