Body image issues can set in - in fact often do set in - that early. NO 11 year old is fat. At that age both boys and girls should be eating healthy, balanced meals, not counting calories.
As the older brother of a 12 year old sister, I think I would definitely be concerned if I saw what you saw. It will feel like betrayal if she knows you saw her diary, so maybe your parents would be amenable to playing the "bad guy", but I really think that, if I discovered that my sister was keeping a weight diary, I would be very concerned and I hope I'd tell my parents about it or otherwise try to help.
Just remember, no matter how much loyalty you might feel about revealing private info on your sister, doing nothing helps no one, and catching these kinda of issues early can prevent problems, like anorexia, from developing before they become chronic.
