Original Visitor's Question from a 13-20 year old Female My girlfriends is 5'7 and 105 lbs, which is under weight. I want her to fatten up to a normal weight but she is terriefied of being fat or gaining weight. How would I go about helping rid her of this fear and getting her fatter? User Submitted Advice from a 13-20 year old Female See a Doctor It's going to take more than just you: when someone's fear of being fat has become that consuming to them, there's really no way to rationalize it for them. If there's anyway you can convince her to see a psychologist or eating disorder specialist about it, it could be a huge help. Or else talk to some of her friends, or someone you trust would help with this. Here are some symptoms of eating disorders: -Obsession with weight (claiming to be fat when actually underweight) -Refusing to eat with others -Loss of periods -Hair loss (or hair thinning) -Pale/unhealthy skin tone -Depression She sounds pretty darn thin. I'd do something about this before it's too late. The Original Question and RomanceClass Answer
