Hey there,

First, it takes a lot for a person with an eating disorder to admit that they need help. So be proud of your girl friend. She wants to recover! You sound like such a supportive boyfriend, and that's wonderful. Now, eating disorders are a very mental thing. So chances are, she's engaging in this behaviour to cope with something going on. You can ask her why she does these things, and try to help her with that. Also, encourage her to seek professional help as soon as you can. Eating disorders can generally be long lasting. What I mean is, while she can improve the bahviour and feelings- she's still going to sometimes battle that. Tell her she is beautiful and just be a support. Be there to listen when she needs it. Tell her she can call you when she feels like purging (only if you're willing).

Take care,
And good luck!
