Well my Funky one, you mention that she hasn't gained that much weight. In fact, I think you said that you don't think she's overweight at all. If this is this case, and she does have the ballerina complex as warkman surmised, If I were you I'd be inclined to tell her she doesn't need to lose weight. Then I'd fine ways to work on her self image and esteem.

If she has gained a few pounds she could stand to lose, suggest that she just eat more healthy when she mentions her need to lose some weight. You could say something like: "I think you look beautiful the way you are, but if you're that concerned- why don't we try eating more healthy choices. It will makes us both feel better".
