Wow!.!.!. this is a hard topic!. A lot of girls now are going under pressure, because of modeling!. Instead of saying how thin she is, (your most likely to get a "no i am not") say "wow you lost weight" that will give an ego boost and hopefully keep her happy for a little while!. if not if she is smaller in size then you!. ask her to play dress up or some version try on her outift and be like "wow i cant fit in this how do you do it" but make sure you dont compliment sooo much she strives to keep losing just keep her ego up until you convince her she is thin!. If it comes down to it!. Sit her down in front of a mirror!. Turn her to the side and turn her head (so she is looking at the side of her body,) thats the smallest angle!. have her sit there and point out all her flaws!. if she comes up with "look at the fat!." show a picture of a gorgeous girl and show her that the girls waist isnt that small!. make her realize that there is a lot going for her!. point out the good stuff you have more good to say then she has bad to say!. if it doesnt work!. post another question and i will answer :DWww@Answer-Health@Com

Not all therapists are alike!. Have her try another one or seek a psychiatrist!. She needs to feel good about herself!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

first you need to find out why she wants to be thinner

you would think it was because she wanted guys to like her, but she said she does care about how she looks, she just wants to be thin, so their must be some other reason

maybe its because she thinks that how thin you are determines how good of a woman you are!? (thats a complete guess, im not a girl so i have no idea)

but you cant come up with a solution until you identify the problem, so id say either ask he strait out, or somehow slip it into the conversationWww@Answer-Health@Com
