I would try an addictions centre for help and information. They don't just deal with drugs and alcohol. They could direct you to someone. Ask about an intervention with family &/or friends, it may be worth a try

Yes I have some advice. Those people will never change and will use you up trying to help them. Sorry to say, I've known, even loved, some too, but they are never going to change, and cetainly not because you want them to. I'd say, and I don't say this lightly, walk away. You might as well try to "rescue" an alcoholic. Anorexia has teeth an inch long and once they're into a person, it's way beyond YOUR power (or mine) to free them from it. You're talking years of therapy and even then it's a one in twenty chance, no more.
Walk away. You've hooked into a situation that will never get better and will only use you up.

How tall is she? is she actually diagnosed with annorexia? I have a freind who is 4-11 and 85 lbs, shes not anorexic. I have another friend who is 5-3 and 110 lbs, shes not anorexic.

She is lucky to have a boyfriend that cares so much about her. Perhaps it's time to talk to her parents. Talk to other people who care about her, and see if they suspect a problem. Then talk to a doctor and ask about staging an intervention.
You could be saving her life. God bless you, and I'll pray for you both.

Hmmm, since you try to talk to her about it, but she wont just listen, and tells you to change the subject probably, umm here i would say the only solution for this is for her to figure it out by herself, and when she sees her anarexic problem an actual problem.

I don't know much on the matter, but I suggest you stage an intervention. Gather her friends and family together to persuade her to get the help she needs.

grow a pair. The next time she yells at you, throw a hotwing down her throat.
