My suggestion, tell her authoritively that her low self esteem turns you off. Tell her that girls who 'know how hot they are' are the most attractive. That would be my approach.

I'm sorry, but come ON. Girls who wear suggestive or revealing clothing (on an everyday basis, regardless of the appropriateness or inappropriateness [are those even words?]) are typically understood to have low self-esteem.
Of course I have to guess that you are referring to suggestive or revealing clothing. You may actually just be referring to Gucci or some other high end brand...heh.
And that particular approach, directed at a person with an eating disorder, could be one of the worst possible things to do. It would reinforce her negative self-image, which in turn would reinforce the destructive behavior. Unfortunately, one cannot simply "logic" another person out of a mental disorder. Would that it was so easy.
