My friend and I will be running a marathon and she is bulimic. I'm afraid for her health b/c she insists on ru

running it. I approached her about it, but she insists she had it under control and was defensive about it. I'm afraid something might happen to her physically, but I'm also afraid that if I tell my coach (he will most likely pull her from the marathon... we have been traveling for months) she will resent me. I need some sound advise, all advice is appreciated. Thanks very much.

Its a good thing your warned your friend and it is a generous thing for a friends to do. That is step one in helping your friend. As your friend continues to act this way, she will notice her health starting to become weaker. Maybe you should try warning her another way. Or secretly help her.





For instance, give her heathier and high protien food that will raise her energy. Talk to the couch secretly about your conserns and tell him to maybe speak with your friend to lay back a few days or if you are worried about taking her away talk to her parents or someone she is really close to, to warn her.





Try comprimising with her, if she continues, you may give up the race or something like that.





There are many ways, just make sure you treat her as if you were playing a game. Find the best way to tell her to stop race and habe a rest.
Reply:she may resent you but u need to get her help or youll reget if u dont she may hate you at first but hopefully eventually get over it and realized you most likely saved her life
Reply:it really is not a great idea but she just needs to make sure she has food in her before she runs. also she must stay hydrated. it will be harder for her to make it through the marathon without passing out but if she eats and drinks plenty before she should be okay.
Reply:Bring protein bars/ powerade?


She really sounds like she does not


need to be doing this.


I would tell the coach.


Her health is more important
Reply:Make her eat or drink alot before the race that might give her cramps and make her stop, or just tell the coach that might be the best choice because well i know how she might feel about this since i used to be anorexic. Anyway plz tell the coach and get her some help, shell be sad and miserable about it but in the long run youll save her life....Please make the right choice.
