I found this report on a study done on the called effects controlling fathers may have on their daughter possibly having an eating disorder.

Apart from there being no mention of the daughters mother being of any blame to why their daughter maybe anorexic, I know several young women who’s mothers still say to them, "your too fat" or "You don't need to eat that"...

What about the media?!? The pressure on young girls to look like the celebrities in the magazines, movies and on stage singing is huge its what is made out to be beautiful, if your skinny too you'll fit into the celebrity life style...

A father's relationship with his daughter may influence whether or not she will develop an eating disorder, researchers from Australia have found.
