realistically there's not a lot you can do. don't comment on her diet or her body at all for any reason. EDs are extremely hard to treat even for trained professionals. if she's in therapy, encourage her to go.

Ed therapy takes a very long time. Just because you can’t see the results does not mean that they are not working on it. Also don’t make any comments on her body at all.

She’ll compare herself to me at times too since I have a very strong A-shape build with a thinner waist for a man but I workout often and she refuses to do so and when she does it’s just her not eating anything and going to track practice and almost passing out

She is in therapy I only make comments really when she makes one first but I’ll try to make it as positive as I can while still being a frustrated brother. “Like how much more snatched do you want your waist to get? I can already touch my hands together.” And she’ll laugh at my comments and make jokes and banter with me but she won’t actually listen and I’m not sure how helpful therapy is for her. She’s progressively started eating more over time but then she’ll just starve right after
