Answers:

Its not a matter of how bad it is, but the fact that she is harming herself in this way, and believe me it will get worse.
I am a former bulemic, and once you get in the habit, its hard to break. Even now if I eat a particually large meal, I still think, hmmm, if I could get to the bathroom without my partner noticing...

So you need to chat with her quite seriously... someone needs to help her, and it needs to be professional help. I know thats hard for you, but there is nothing you can say that will change her way of thinking, its all in her head.

And bulemia is not necessarily about weight or weight loss, its mostly about control, and control your body, and what you put into (or take out of) your body. It can be quite empowering to do this to your body.

The fact she has told you is a cry for help. Please dont not do anything, you must help her, or she could suffer the consequences for the rest of her life.

Good luck! ;-)
