[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. She definitely has an eating disorder and has gotten some help in the past but did not like having to change her ways, so she refuses both in and out-patient therapy at this point. My parents don’t want to push her so they just allow her to do her thing. I don’t if it’s technically anorexia or not since she does eat, she just only eats maybe 10 things total. She is very thin but not sickly looking so most people just tell her she looks great. It’s actually really sad.

She will not eat at restaurants or order take out because she doesn’t trust what is on the food or what it may have been prepared with. So it’s not as simple as ordering a salad with no cheese and dressing on the side. She only eats chicken, salmon, eggs, lettuce and certain other green vegetables and herbal tea. I honestly can’t think of anything else she eats.

In terms of letting her cook, the main issue is that she won’t use any oil, butter or even Pam to cook things so they stick to the pan which then has to be scrubbed for hours to get all the food off. She also likes everything to be cooked separately so she uses like 3-4 pans depending on what she is making. My parents do clean up after her at home but I know they won’t in my house.

I want to be compassionate but also think it’s kind of ridiculous that they just let her live this way under their roof and do absolutely nothing.

If she only eats a few things why does she need 3-4 pans.  Just get her some food you know she'll eat.  Do a chicken meal, salmon meal, veggies she likes. Get some non-stick foil for baking.[/quote]
