He's a darling.
He's really skinny, but thinks he is huuge.
Every time he talks about "how fat he is" he makes me feel like a whale.
His girlfriend told me today about him making himself throw up after eating.
He doesn't binge at all, but after eating the tiniest amount he goes and makes himself throw up.
What can I do?
He doesn't know I know and he's not allowed to find out I know, because it would jepordise his and his girlfriend's relationship.
I just don't know how to persuade him that he's not fat, because he most certainly isn't.
I'm just stuck.
Help?
:(

Try and somehow convince him not to throw up after eating.
Take him to see a doctor who will tell him that he doesn't need to do it, he is harming his own health by doing what he is doing...maybe some of it will help.
Try and find websites etc that offer advice on the subject, maybe there are sites for people who do/did the same, and you can talk to them about it, see how some of them got over it.
I can't really think of much more

I love him and it feels like it was my fault because I turned him down when he asked me out.
I just want him to be okay.

Its noones fault really. You couldnt of foreseen this happening.
The main idea is to convince him how thin he is. Get his weight and then compare it to a normal male, keep trying to convince him. Invite him out and then slyly supervise him and dont give him chance to sneak off and be sick. Then get his girlfriend to maybe tell him how worried she is, and how much its affecting the relationship. And maybe keep going on about how hes too thin, it might sink in eventually.
I dont really have much idea on this subject as i havent experienced it or known anyone with it ;s Only what ive read.

I just want him to be okay.It isn't your fault at all.
You can't say it's your fault because you turned him down, because otherwise it would be as if he said to you go out with me or i'll do this to myself...and its not like that, so you shouldn't feel responsible because of that at all.
And he has a girlfriend now anyway, so it's not as if it was you or nobody else.
I also agree with Rashella, get his girlfriend to tell him how upset she is about it, possibly exaggerate it a bit too, even though it's already really bad. If he sees how upset she is, he should think about it and try to act on it if he cares for her.
