How do I convince my girlfriend to stop smoking cigs and cannabis? -

Me and my gf have been dating for 3 months, she-s 14, I-m only 17. We get along perfect. I weigh about 138, she weighs about 125, and she-s been smoking cigs since she was about 13, and marijuana for about a year. She smokes cigarettes because it helps her lose weight. Not to mention she is bulemic, and purges at least once a week. However she hasn-t really made a difference, only like 5 lbs if she works hard for 2 weeks. I-ve told her that being bulemic is very dangerous and she shouldn-t continue. I have told her that she should run a half mile with me every day for a month, and that would help, and I belive that would be the best possible thing to help her in all aspects with the smoking and stuff. I understand she-s 14, and may not abide with me, but what can I do to help her lose the weight she wants to lose?

Thanks.Yes the bulimia is a huge concern, that will kill her faster than smoking. The pot will not help her lose weight because it likes fat cells (that is a fact that may help her not want to smoke that anymore) and the running is a great idea but maybe start with speed walking since she does smoke, it will take a little to get use to the exercise.
Tell her that you really care about her and want her to be around for a long time and that you are willing to do whatever it takes to help her see how beautiful she truly is! Then absolutly be true to your word, be her friend and be there!You do not need cigarettes to help you lose weight. Haven-t you noticed all of the fat people that smoke cigarettes? She can lose weight by sticking to diet and exercise.There is nothing you can do for someone else. You can only take care of yourself. She makes her own choices and will live with her own decisions. The only thing you can do is feel sorry for her until she come to realize what she is doing to her own body . . until than make sure that you remain healthy and strong and don-t fall into the same bad habits she is choosing. You may want to look for someone with more maturity who cares about their health.
