Flakiness and periods of going MIA
If a friend who was usually reliable has started demonstrating the other behaviors on this list and becomes quite unreliable, she may have an eating disorder. After periods of binge-eating, your friend might want to hide away from others and could cancel on your plans at the last minute. Or, for fear of eating foods she wants to restrict, she may cancel plans that revolve around meals. The mood swings associated with her perceived “failures” (like failing to restrict food) might cause her to not want to be around others. She may also fail to answer her phone or respond to texts for long periods of time.
