Normally I dont answer a question that already has so many responses. However, in this case, I think it merrits to add my voice to the choir so to speak.
Tell this girls parents asap. You are NOT betraying her friendship, even if she might think that you are. This person is ill, she cannot be treated as a regular healthy human being. This is clearly something that you cannot help her with. What she needs is professional help (they have medicine for depression amongst other things).
Just remember, she is very seriously endangering her life and her future health. As a friend I think it is your duty to do something, and you should probably act fast too.
Good luck.

I know how you feel, but you have got to tell someone about this. There really is no other option. Anorexia is a mental disorder, with both mental and physical manifestations- this is apparent not only in your friend's weight loss and weakness, but in her depression and sadness as well. If she was satisfied with herself, she would not be doing this. As a friend, you need to inform someone about this.. it's for her own good. She may resent you at first, but if there's some body there to intervene, she'll end up thanking you a million times in the long run. But that's besides the point: she needs help NOW.
I know this must be so hard on you, but you need to tell some adults about this. Inform your mother, and she can also give you other suggestions. Tell a school nurse, a teacher, councelor..anyone who can help. Trust me. One of my friends has had to do the same thing several years ago, when she told a teacher that her friends were annorexic. That may have literally saved them. Do your friend a favor and do the same for her.

I'm sorry, but you've GOT to realize that this friend is already sick and depressed. Tell her parents as soon as possible--and tell a doctor, too. Getting "real" help never makes things worse if you get to people who will be responsible about it, even if she is mad at you at first. And there isn't much that could make this situation worse... eating addictions are something that you can get psychologically addicted to, and this not eating is putting your best friend in serious danger. Go to someone as soon as possible.

Get her help! Jeez 5'3" and 105 pounds? Get her to a doctor and get her back to eating right again. Anorexia is just a mess up for the body that never ends right. Does your friend realize what she is actually doing to herself?
Get her help, get her a doctor, and finally get her senses back. There is no need for her to be doing this to herself, but there is need for you to go to a medical professional, her parents, and yours (even though your mom knows) to get her help, whether she likes it or not.
