I also have eating issues and with past friends and bfs it has caused a bit of tention. Reasuring her will make her feel a bit better, but if she has made up her mind about what she sees in the mirror then it won't really effect anything. I know that when people went to proffessionals about me I got very distressed and angry, and had a lot of resentment towards them because they kind of made me gain weight.
I think that you should just be supportive. Keep telling her she is fine, and thin, and just try and keep calm with her and not get frustrated. Try and get her to eat small things, even if it is just an orange or piece of fruit. It will help stop her passing out because of the sugar, and she will hopefully eventually accept the issue and decide to recover. If she is forced into recovery it might relapse, so try and keep her happy if you can. Because she has been hospitalizes a few times I don't think she is ready to recover yet.
Just talk to her about stuff, like about her day and friends and things, and make sure that if she does recover she doesn't start the binge cycle and start putting on heaps of weight.
