Hey guys. I have a friend who I would consider as my best friend but I think he might be borderlining anorexia.

He used to be a bit chubby, but he decided to stop having cantine meals and go to the gym once or twice a week at lunchtimes at school, and got himself looking good. But for a while now hes been going to the gym every lunch, after school and at weekends, and once or twice a week avoids lunch due to having 'a big breakfast' or 'feeling sick'. He did not have lunch today or yesturday either, so missing lunch has been on the increase, and I dont think he is having much else at home tbh. I only ever see him when hes in the same lesson as me too because hes obsessed with losing weight at the gym as he claims he is 'fat' when he is FAR from it.

He is now really skinny that the centre of his chest goes inwards, and although he goes to the gym a lot hes not muscular as he is not eating so his body must be too weak to form big muscles? Anyway, Ive pointed it out to him that he has gotta stop the obsession and that hes being stupid about it, and should spend less time at the gym and go back to being more social. But he gets a bitter now and when I tell him hes making himself look ill he just says 'And your better?', rude but anyway.

Not sure what else to do, so just thought if anybody has something to suggest that I could do or say to him it would be useful because I want to help him but nothing seems to have changed his attitude towards it yet.

Not sure why he became so obsessed btw, he gets a bit big headed at times and as he excels academically he could be trying to be the best at everything else or to just prove that hes cool by doing sporty things. And I know he got rejected by a girl recently which may have added to it, but yeah, he looks pretty much anorexic now and very pale.
