Okay my girlfriend suffered from anorexia when she was really young (from 11 until 14, she's 17 now), she's fine now, but that EXTREMELY negative self image. She eats normally(probably more than she should, due to her parents making sure she's not sick again), is a healthy weight (albeit still thin, she just has a nice ass and tits, and doesn't look emaciated). I really love her, and it kills me to see her look in the mirror in complete horror. It's so sad. She's popular, has lots of friends, is extremely extremely beautiful, and she has me (and I'm not so bad). She hears all good things about herself, all the time, yet she just shoves them off as if it's nothing. It's not like she's all "I'm so fat" but whenever I see her look in the mirror she just looks terrified, but she'll look away and be happy again. She things clothes that don't fit (like too big) fit her, she's always touching her stomach during sex, like kind of covering it, she pinches at her 'fat' subconsciously, and it really truly breaks my heart. I've been with this girl for nearly three years (through her looking emaciated, to absolutely stunning. Though, I've known her since kindergarten, by the way). I definitely don't want to break up with her, never ever could I break up with her for no reason, she or I would have to do something TERRIBLE, but I just can't see those things. I just don't understand why she doesn't see the beautiful girl everybody else sees. I tell her how beautiful I think she is all the time, and she smiles, but I know she doesn't believe it. I don't know...I just want to know what I can do to try and ignore those things because as corny and pussyish as it sounds, it really hurts my feelings lol...

I guess if I were you, except she's my friend and not girlfriend, it would be painful looking at her being sad over nothing. but it's hard for you to do anything about it, because she's not going to believe what you say. She might think you are saying it because you want her to feel better. Unless it's the president of the united states or whatever, I doubt anyone can erase her opinions of herself.

Be happy that has recovered from her disorder. It sounds like she is making progress and taking steps in the right direction.

My gf is the same way. When we're going to sleep I can see the covers moving around because she's pulling at the fat on her. She's super super pretty, I have a pic of her in my IB. Nobody has ever told her she's not good looking or fat or w/e she's just always feeling like she's gaining weight or shit like that. I asked her who she's trying to impress and she has no answer. It's really hard sitting around not being able to do a thing about it.

roll over you can sleep on the floor naked with your bag of cheetos

She has a psychological problem. Even though it hurts you, you really can't help her. No matter how many times you tell her she's beautiful, she'll always feel the same way about herself. You only have two options. Accept her problem, or move on.

Well, that was anorexia does, besides starving herself. It's a mental disorder thats difficult to overcome, but not impossible. She just needs to boost her confidence, if she can't, just tell her, "fake it til she makes it". if you fake confidence, you most likely will FEEL confident.
