Your good friend Margaret is currently within appropriate ranges for height and weight and body fat percentage, yet she thinks she is fat. Margaret is always talking negatively about herself. She exercises vigorously at least an hour every day, and sometimes twice a day. Sometimes she skips meals.

What concerns do you have about Margaret? What could you say or do to help her? Write at least one paragraph.

Answer:

Margaret could have an eating disorder. Talking negatively about yourself, having a distorted image of yourself, obsessively exercising, and skipping meals are all symptoms of anorexia. You should reccomend she see a professional about this, as it could be serious and lead to big consequences. You could also help her by showing her compassion and care, and allowing her to talk freely around you without feeling judged.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps.
