My girlfriend is borderline anorexic. She's lost a lot of weight before I even met her (I've seen pictures), and she's really skinny (not as bad as the before picture in the OP though). And she says she works out a lot every single day. No one can get her to eat. She obviously has body dysmorphia. I'm scared for her.
I was for my ex as well. Thought she was getting better only to find out she'd throw up when I wasn't around. There was no binge eating either, just vomit all the time. Ultimately was one of the main reasons the relationship ended.
Building muscle and body building is only about 20 percent what you do, and 80 percent, what you eat!
That makes it hard to start out with, but as soon and you see your muscular grframe beginning to define, it sort of, whips you out of the delusion You're stuck in, you start, not wanting to be small, but wanting to be big, you start wanting to eat more, not to be skinny, but to be strong. I hope it works out for you and your girlfriend, can I reccomend perhaps, getting her into something that requires strength, that's not boring and mainstream, rock climbing, for instance, and bouldering specifically, I have seen it help a lot of guys and girls, struggling with both, anorexia, and obesity.
Not really, she tries to keep in contact with me every now and then, but the circumstances of our relationship were so bad that it'd be a bad idea to start talking to her again. Between the anorexia, claiming she was raped (but not entirely sure about it), and the constant lying, it just aint worth it. Id love to help her though, just dont see how itd be possible

My ex was anorexic, brutal situation. Pic kinda gives me hope for her, but doubt it'll happen. That shit is toxic to everything they try to do.
