yeah that's a tricky thing. on the other hand it sounds just like sabella said, like you think that the one with the disorder isn't capable of taking care of herself, but then again, in most cases she actually ISN'T! that's where the hard thing comes, how far can you push a person before it all goes wrong? it might lead to the one with the disorder being even more messed up and confused, therefore getting worse. or it can help. but it's a really fine line there... but usually, like you guys already have said, the person doesn't realize she's sick, and could need a wake up. my friend who was really anorectic for a while has now later said, that she didn't realize how skinny she was, or that she had a problem, but now when she looks at pictures from that time she can see it, but she was all blinded then. and nowadays she gets scared when she sees how skinny she was. so that's why they need us friends/sisters/brothers/others, to help them see how ill they actually are.
and of course, every case is different. you can't actually say, "this is how you're supposed to do, this works", but every person is different and you just kind of have to feel your way. which can be very hard. i've experienced it myself. several times...trying to help but not really knowing the best way to do it..

I'll try the things you guys have said, and I'll let you know if anything changes.
