she is definetly ana, i am 5'0 80 pounds, my bmi (basal metabolism weight) is underweight and she sounds alot thinner than i am. I have a friend who is anorexic and her boyfriend, to get her to stop, gave up eating and then my friend was really upset and tried to make him eat again and he said the only way he would was if she did. it sounds drastic but it might help her realize how much she is hurting you. If nothing else works give it a try.

Hi Darren
Do you think your girlfriend is anorexic? She could be from what you have said. She is very underweight from the sounds of it.
If she is anorexic telling her to eat won't make her eat. Anorexics stop eating usually because of a deeper problem than just because they think they are fat.
Does Katlyn recognise that she has a problem? If she does would she consider talking to a counselor or somebody about it.
From the sounds of it you sound like a very understanding person and I would encourage you to keep supporting Katlyn through letting her know that you are there to talk to but don't push too hard as she will only talk when she is ready. I wouldn't reccommend threatening to break up with her as this may make matters worse. She is probably insecure about herself which is why she thinks she is fat, threatening to break up with her may cause her to feel more insecure.
i hope that this is of some use to you and that Katlyn is okay
