Do not give up: Your daughter needs to be hospitalized in a facility that can treat her anorexia. She is in a serious state and will not agree to treatment on her own so hospitalization will have to be involuntary. Do not hesitate to get her into proper care.

Exercise : Adding exercise and self control by reducing portion intake and eating the right foods while counting calories is best. Increase fruit and fiber intake if not eating enough. Take a yoga course or start swimming if not already. Good, low impact exercises. If considering surgical options, know that the best procedures and surgtons usually require that one starts losing weight first.
