Right now, we live in a time where the media and other things pressure us to be thin. Your friend is obviously feeling extremley self concious so she feels the need to throw up after her meals to loose weight. Tell her she's beautiful, tell her she's too skinny, or tell her she looks great the way she is. The more compliments you give her when she hasnt been throwing up, the more she wont want to throw up. When she throws up, shes feeling like she actually has control over something, her body and the food. I know its mean, but discourage her looks after she's been throwing up. She's living for these compliments that she thinks she will only get if she keeps throwing up.
Buliemia is a serious issue. The only way she can be cured of it is therapy and even after therapy, she may still feel the need to "binge and purge" (pig out and puke). All you can really do is support her and encourage her to get help.

Making herself throw up will kill her it is best that you can help her whenever she needs help. She maybe to scared to ask for help. Even though she wont come for help just always be there for her. Maybe yu should find her a guy that finds her very attractive. If she trys not to throw up for one day then she is starting the process. She needs to take one day at a time. Maybe if you printed out statistics and printed them out to show her. There are so many women who die from this sort of thing. Dont worry everything will be fine as long as you dont give up. Keep tyring and try a sitdown bring everyone in the living and talk. Or you could take her out to the movies to keep her mind off of it. If you spend enough time and she doesnt think about then the process will get easier.

The best thing you can do for her is support her. Don't leave her for this--that will just make things worse. If you keep encouraging her to stop and telling her how much she means to you shell eventually listen...if that doesn't help then you need to get other people involved that she can directly talk to about it (people that have gone through the same thing) (I understand exactly what shes going through...)

No one can help you with this. But you def def need to tell her parents! because she is going to end up hurting herself! Havent you seen the TV shows about people who do that kind of stuff... They are tooo Skinny... And some eventually die.. So you need to get her to some how go to a doctor with you.. and get her to talk to someone... Because.. I'm guessing.. She is NOT fat.. and she thinks she is.. and thats why shes doing it..

You need to tell her.. She is beautiful no matter what she looks like that she doesnt need to make herself throw up...

Hope This Helps... Good Luck..

There isn't much you can do yourself. Talk to her parents, or yours (and tell them to talk to her parents or something). Make your girlfriend feel good about herself. The reason she is making herself throw up is probably that she either feels fat or worthless. Let her know that you think she's beautiful and perfect the way she is.

Hope I helped!!
