Try get her to talk and open up to you if she doesn't wanna talk to anyone else about it an the moment. Try make sure you listen to what she says and let her know that not matter what you will stick by her. Eating disorders can be a bitch cause you like to keep it very private.....but when it goes to far it's not pretty. ..... Just let her know that you will be there for her no matter what...try make her feel special and beautiful. You sound like your a great girlfriend to her anyway just whatever happens make sure your there for her x
I have spoken to her about it and she says she just hates her body and thinks she's much too fat. She used to look at a lot of something called 'thinspo' and I catch her doing it every so often now too. I have told her many times that I love her fat or thin and that I just really want her to be healthy. I told her I was proud of her when she made and ate dinner last night but got quiet after doing so which is normally a sign of her being triggered.

I just spent two days with her and she basically doesn't eat all day, resulting in her feeling dissy and light headed. At this point I stepped in and made her something to eat and some tea with a bit of sugar in it (I thought the sugar might boost her energy levels a bit) but thinking back on it now I realise that she gets a lot of headaches and dizziness and that it's all probably due to not eating.
thank you very much for your advice.
