I ran into her this summer and she is down to nothing in terms of weight. She wears a size '0' and must have them taylored to fit. She is 40 yo and looks like she is 50. A shame but you have to want to help yourself, first.
Professional help is the best bet to beat the disease. The average person does not understand the premis of this. It is hard to conceive.
