Like others have said she could well have an eating disorder. Having spent time in a clinic for this it's not just about the numbers. Some people don't want to get help initially but that's part of the the disorder. Others do seek treatment. If she wants a proper diagnosis she may need to see a registered Psychologist or Psychiatrist.

Nobody wants an eating disorder.
Thanks for this!
