Wanting to help a friend with BED

Posted by Racer on September 11, 2008, at 8:37:55

I've got a friend who eats a little compulsively. This is one of the few people in my life to whom I've voluntarily disclosed my anorexia, and one of my favorite people. I'd love to offer to help, but I don't know quite how to bring it up. Since I want to offer an area to reduce stress, rather than add to it, can anyone suggest anything about approaching this oh-so-sensitive issue?
We've talked a little about my issue, although I'm never sure how much anyone knows about anorexia -- so much of what the media presents is so misleading. I keep hoping that our talks about the periphery will lead somewhere, but not so far...
Any ideas?
Thanks.
