She has Anorexia. It seems to me thats how it is. You'll get nowhere by yelling at her, because that will only make her think she's right.
What a girl like that needs is gentle comfort and someone to learn on. She needs to be calmly told that she's wrong every time she says something like that. Be kind to her. She'll really need help one day soon. Also, it's your job as her friend to keep her from hurting herself, and making sure she's eating right and taking care of herself.
Your friend just might be fishing for compliments. She says these things just to hear people say "no your pretty or your thin." Next time don't say anything when she says those things. Your feeding into her madness.
