Author | Topic: Theres an ANOREXIC girl at my gym... | ||
Amateur Bodybuilder ![]() ![]() Posts: 76 |
Who's responsible for this woman's health (25yrs). She's horribly annorexic and she works out--every single day (7xweek), only cardio of course, like a fiend. She's a walking skeleton. (and she's not a ballerina--she's clearly annorexic--Ray Charles could see that!) You can almost hear her bones rattle when she walks. Should somebody say something? After all, annorexia nervosa is a form of suicide-only much slower than a gun--would you stop somebody from jumping off a ledge?? Or pulling a trigger on a gun in their mouth?? What's different here? Maybe the gym manager should carefully call this gurl aside and speak with her. Anybody have comments, advice or experience with this?? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

This is a touchy subject, but something that needs to be addressed by a professional. Walking up and talking with her about it could cause her to spin in a faster downward spiral...have someone with experience talk with her about it. That's my advice, but I recommend doing something. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

The world is already overpopulated. Let her do whatever the hell she wants. I was watching some girl on a machine at my gym last month who had about twenty big ass scars on each of her wrists. Sad thing was, she actually has a nice little body. But if you're just going for attention, don't do something like that, it looks horrible. Take a header off Half Dome or something. I can't believe how incompetent she is that with so many scars, she couldn't actually go all the way through with it. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Yup, I say eat her before the protein supply gets too low to be of any good to you. I'm kidding, I wondered what the fuck is wrong with them. They want the perfect bod and no fat anf they have too much fat no matter what. Thats proof of mental illness. If they gave a shit, they'd see that the BB lifestyle is the best life. Low bf and muscles to burn spare fat. Proof she needs pro help. Getting her there is also a pro decision though, unfortunately. Good to see you actually care though. ps-if you do eat her, Dahmer said the biceps were tasty ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Growing did you think that maybe she is trying to do something about her disorder. Maybe she is taking the first step toward recovery. I wouldn't tell the manager to say something, first you don't know her circumstances and secondly, extra pressure could push her over the edge. Try making small talk with her. Winning someones trust is the first step in helping someone. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
