Is it possible for someone age 62 to become obssessed with weight loss? My sister is having trouble with aging and trys to keep up with the latest styles and trends…and I think she is also trying to become excessively thin. She has always been about a size ten but starves herself now to stay about a size 3. She looks awful…her skin is a strange color, her bones protrude and she complains of being cold constantly. She also is very fatigued all the time. Another obssession is constantly pointing out how “Fat” everyone else is. This is hurtful as I am trying to lose about 40 pounds since I was ill with adrenal insufficiency two years ago and piled on the weight when treated with steroids. The rest of the family (six siblings) also feel she is getting

a bit “off” and unstable in her thinking. I am worried for her but she takes great offense when I tell her she is getting too thin for her health and age. She basically thinks I am just jealous but I am not since I am taking off abut three pounds a week now due to a life time change in eating and recovering my health naturopathically. She seems so insecure and is very lonely due to a recent break up. I feel like she is trying too hard to keep that “young” look and instead this is making herself look “very old” beyond her years. How does one approach something like this since she denies she is “too thin”?
