First-talk to her about it and why you think this.
Then if needed I seriosly consider getting her to a doctor to get help because it can cause some real damage

And let her know that theres no reason to be that way. You dont have to be a size 2 to be beautiful. let her know shes perfect the way she is

I tried. She is beautiful and definitely not fat. When it comes to her weight she has developed her own views.

I bet its hard. Most Bulimics like most people suffering from eating disorders seem to have a distorted view of their body image.There is a lot of info out there. I suggest you start reading. Maybe you want to try here: http://www.eatingdisordersonline.com/…

Bulimics are often very very self-consious obviously and sometimes ashamed of actually being bulimic. I agree with Hslaner- Maybe you should research and present her with some good information about what is does to your body, getting help and support groups. Unfortunately she must in the end make the decision for herself, but knowing that she has support and encouragement can be of enormous help.

Hslaner and dragonfly have good points. Knowing is have the battle…but she has to make the decision…but it’s obvious that you love this girl…so just support her…in her time of need and help her get better….If she know that you are behind her…she is more likely to get help…

well, first go and see if she really is. if your sure talk to here about it, tell her you love her no matter how she looks, and you dont want her to hurt herself.
