Fixation on the topic of bodies
A friend might develop a new fixation with speaking about bodies. She might redirect most conversations back to this topic. This can look like wanting to know exactly what other women eat and how much they eat, or how often others exercise and how they exercise. It can include wanting to know the exact clothing size of other women. Even if another individual with an eating disorder comes up in conversation, this friend might express heightened interest, wanting to know exact details about what you’ve observed in that person. Overall, there is a new and extreme obsession with topics like calories, clothing sizes, and exercise.
