He's worried about her

My sister, brother and I all had different fathers. My sister's father was a very slender fellow. She happens to take after him in this respect. We are six years apart and in all our years, I've never seen her wear above a size 2. In fact, her wearing above a size 2 was only after the birth of her son.
People would kill to be as lucky as she is, only having retained two pounds after the birth of her son. After the birth of her daughter she had the "mommy makeover" A lot of cosmetic surgery on her chest and torso regions.
She is a very beautiful woman, and I am not just saying that out of sisterly affection. She is still very slender. However, through the family grapevine, I have heard that she is not eating. My brother in law (the "he" of the title) is worried about her.
I can't say with any certainty what all she is eating, but it seems as if the majority of it is just salad. That's a rabbit's diet!
I am not sure if she is depressed, going through some sort of crisis (she's too young yet to go through a midlife crisis) but I am worried about her as well. We were never close growing up and aren't close now, I couldn't begin to go to her and tell her to stop this nonsense or ask her what's up and lend an ear.
She wouldn't listen to me and the stubbornness in her wouldn't allow her to listen to any other family member, no matter how she close she is to them.
I hope whatever is bothering her will resolve itself though. She's skin and bones as is!

I hope her husband (your brother in law) can speak to her. Or maybe her friends. Hopefully she'll start eating again besides the diet.

She also exercises on top of going to tae kwon do. She over exerts herself. I think I know some of the reasoning behind it though.
She carries worry over what happened to my mom happening to her. I know that I carry it in the back of my mind so she is bound to do the same. (My mom had a nerve disorder that caused her much grief and debilitation over the years until ultimately killing her)
She (my sister) also carries a lot of responsibility on her shoulders. She has some sort of image in her head of how our childhood was and how she wants her kids to have a much better childhood. I am six years younger than she is but I can't say i recall ever going without. Sure we didn't always get what we wanted but we got more than others. She works way too much because of this, to afford the house they live, the electronics and such she buys the kids... In my opinion it's ridiculous.

@sharon6345 So do I. She's only makin gherself unhealthy by not eating at all. Especially with how much energy she exerts each day.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yeah - sometimes we have to take a break and just be thankful for everything we have. I hope she stops to realize she is very blessed with a husband, kids, roof over her head, food, etc.

I don't think that she is but there is no telling either. She has always had a problem with any kind of weight gain but she hasn't ever been so drastic.

Is this the mother of the niece and nephew we see a lot of? Is there some way to plant in her brain that her daughter especially needs a healthy eating and living example? Not make it about her, but about her kids?

Unfortunately that wouldn't work. My niece's eating habits are very healthy (sometimes bordering on unhealthy) and my sister won't think about what her actions now might do to my niece's mindset on it in the future.
My nephew eats very healthy as well.

It doesn't sound like there's much you can do. She probably needs to see a professional counselor or something.

Some people are just skin and bones. I had a friend that was tiny, very petite. She carded whenever we went out. It became quite a joke.
