Question: I have a friend that eats so much and i think it is gross and if i eat like a second servibg she calls me....?
.... a horse I always feel like telling her " do you see how much food you eat!" Like once she got four big macs, five large fries and to chicken sandwiches and ate it all at once no breaks. Anyways is it normal for me to feel disgusted by how much someone eats? Sorry so long. (:

Its normal for someone to be a little more hungry than others.. but what you just described as far as what your friend eats, well it is discusting! You are a good friend by not saying anything to her while she's eating that way.. but, she isn't a good friend to you by making comments.. she obviously has an eating disorder of some sort.. I would address her eating habits to her.. she needs to know how others see her & she needs to realize that big macs and french fries are not good for you..



That sounds like an eating disorder. Don't mention it unless you can stop being disgusted (and rather judgmental). If you can't completely let go of the "shoulds" that are based on your behavioral expectations, don't approach her. Just try not to eat with her. The reason you shouldn't mention it is that she will take it as an insult and a commentary on her value as a person. Not good to do to a friend.

If, on the other hand, you are able to frame it in a caring way (you are worried about her health and well-being), you might mention it. Say that you are worried about her eating habits and ask if she is okay. Binging like that isn't healthy. If she is also purging, it is worse.



Its really not your business what she eats, but she has no right to say anything to you about what you eat either.

I personally couldn't care less how much my friends eat (Unless it was becoming a real health hazord) but I would get really annoyed if someone commented on how much i eat. I would tell her to mind her own business. Maybe point out how much she eats, when she starts in on your eating habits. Dont let her put you down or call you a horse. Thats really messed up.



i felt like having a cardiac arrest after reading, what your friend consumes.
i can feel u girl!
i have a friend who consumes loads of fried and processed food a lot, and i tell her how the food will harm her if she neglects to take them in an appropriate amount, and i wouldn't be bothered about her commenting on my food cause i know i eat healthily , its the quality of the food that matters.
Don't worry about what your friend says, she can't seem to realize her own flaws that she's finding it in others.. try to talk to her about her health and her diet.

i agree with Julia S!!



Does she ever disappear after she eats? If so, she is without a doubt Bulimic. And if not, I agree with the one who said her eating behavior sounds like gluttony.

Ooh yeah, and the food she eats sounds atrocious!! ugggh poor animals dying for her gluttony.



She may have an eating disorder where she eats large volumes of food and it's hard for her stop. Is she heavy? Perhaps try talking to her about this, but in a nice way.



Your friend's behavior sounds gluttonous. I can understand how you would be grossed out.

I agree with you, it does sound gross. Think it may be a behavioral problem



Is it wrong? Neigh.
