Yes she needs to see both a doctor for physical needs, but also a doctor for mental needs. She most likely has very low self asteem and is trying to maintain the "perfect body" and views every single little ripple on her body as her being fat. I also think, from what I've read, that the throwing up deal can be addictive, as they get good at it and can eventually puke pretty much on call, and just get to doing it after they eat frequently. I can't imagine what it is like, or what I could do to help someone in that situation, other than to try to boost their self asteem, and tell them they are NOT fat, and that weight does not matter anyway, and again, direct them to a mental health therapist/psychiatrist/doctor.
Very sad Jorath, I hope that she gets help.
