Eating disorder: It sounds like your friend suffers from aorexia nervosa, an eating disorder where people have a distorted body image & feel overweight even if thin. No one knows the cause but this can be very serious, even life threatening. Your friend needs to see a doctor or therapist who specializes in this. Consider talking to her parents.
