My daughter is 13. She once weighed just under 16 st. She was always unhappy with her weight, I tried things with her, but she just didn't want to do it. 1 day, it's like something switched. I wasn't sure if I was happy for her to be healthier or a bit worried about why there was sudden change. Anyway, cut a long story short, weight was dropping off her... People did complement her (family even) which I don't blame them but honestly, it worried me at how strict she was with herself. She would say she was having a chocolate bar for dinner, so not exactly healthy stuff, but not many calories or food. She is now just over 8 st the thing is, she has been losing about a stone and a half a month... She is physically unwell from it IMHO. She doesn't have a healthy relationship with food and I believe she has an ED. She finally agreed to see the GP with me, to which the GP explained that she was making a healthy life for herself saying that he doesn't think I should worry as there's nothing at all worrying about her weight and practically praised her I'm still incredibly worried. I'd love to go private but have no money. Has anyone ever been able to get help for an eating disorder without being underweight?

AIBU to think it isn't fair that the NHS won't help my daughter?
