My mom's been recently stressed out recently with divorce, her parents dieing etc., a new high powered job and in response she's basically stopped eating. I'll be lucky if I can get her to eat one small meal a day, sometimes she goes days without food. She's dropped about 2 stone in a month and is now smaller than me.
Apparently eating disorders for mature adults are on the rise, maybe she wants to look skinny like Sharon Stone, or Teri Hatcher to fit in at her job with all her younger collegues.
What can I do to make her eat? Is there anything that I can do or say before seekin professional help? Thanks for any thoughts you have.
