My beloved friend is suffering from anorexia, and has been talking about recovery for some time now but hasn't made significant progress.

I'm hoping to get some incite on how I can support them? What to say and how to act?

I've read online that unconditional love and support are key; but is there anything more specific I can do? Friend says I should also encourage them to eat - ie when the irrational anorexic mind is taking over I should beat it down with words - saying its ok to eat etc.

I'm worried about my friend. Any help is greatly appreciated
