    He says that he's just fine. I say he's too thin. I can count ALL of his ribs. when he stands, he stomach curves in BEHIND his ribs and his hip bones stick out wayyyyy too much. Does anyone know what I can to to get help? He eats, he just never eats a lot. In feb. He weighed 115 and now I'm not sure he's even 100. I'm scared, I don't know whats going to happen to him. And he will not listen to me or ANYONE who tries to tell him he's too skinny. I am so scared. I don't want him to get sick and I know you can die from this and I'm really really really worried that that is whats going to become of this if he doesn't get any help. Does anyone know of anyplace I can go to to help him????

    If he won't listen to you, maybe he'll listen to a Doctor. If he's really thin, if you point out some of the obvious symptoms he might be feeling, he might realise you're right. He can get a therapist, or you can bring up a handy little word, 'trust'. Why would you lie to him? Ask him, would you really lie about something so serious, and why? Tell him how you feel, and if he doesn't listen, it's his life he should be worrying about.

    I have a friend named Lanny. Only his case is much worse. He is 19 and 78..er 80 pounds now. What I do is, go over and just start making a whole bunch of food. Even if he says he doesn't want to eat it and it's too fatty for him to eat. Give him an hour and he will be eating. Or just go over and pick them up. Take them out for dinner and buy them something. I do this all the time. And he keeps gaining weight. Though he doesn't like it. I tried to tell him. People don't want to be around a walking skelton. He gets mad at me but knows I'm just helping. I love him so much to see him in pain over not eating because he needs to be skinny.

    Has he had problems with his weight befor? did he use to be overweight? or people ever called him 'fat'...because if that has happened then his problems psychological ..and he might think hes just 'fine' because hes always been told hes fat ..
