her body will use the muscle & hang onto the fat then when she starts eating again she will add on more fat instead of muscle. She will also lose energy to do things.

The list of things that happen depend on how long she does it. But let her know without eating her body will try to hang on to her wieght - she can lose faster if she eats within a certain range (that depends on her wieght now)

tell her the fitness chicks are hot - make a point to grabbing the fitness mags & saying the girl on the cover is great looking & cut down the super skinny girls - I know that sounds like an awful thing to do but it should help.

Tell her if she wants a fab, firm body, to join us here at FT!

I she wants a skinny body with no tone, to become obssessed with food, to have her metabolism in her boots and to be completely miserable, to continue what she's doing.

good god. I don't want to sound mean at all, but it sounds like she just wants some attention. I've known quite a few anorexics and they tend to hide the anorexia. Lots of times when someone stops eating in a noticeable way they either are uninformed on the best way to lose weight or they are just doing it to get attention. If she actually told you that she's just gonna starve herself then she is likely just trying to get a rise out of you. It's working by the way things seem. I wouldn't worry about it unless she actually starts to lose weight. I would guess that she's probably eating when she isn't around you. At least I knew some girls who did that before. Women do messed up things sometimes to get attention. Make sure that she knows you love her and that you think she is perfect like she is. She'll come around. It isn't fun being hungry.

That could be true what bobosensei said.
