And none of her men seem to care that this woman practically has an eating disorder.
To be fair, Damien and Nate seem to care very much about her eating habits... or the lack thereof. How much of that is genuine care and how much of that is self-preservation is hard to gauge.
Additionally, JC used to nag Anita about eating in the early books, particularly after he could taste foods through her. Again, how much of that was genuine care and how much of that was his food fetish is hard to gauge.
But yeah, someone should mention to Anita that she's got eating issues in addition to all of her other ones. Someone that she hopefully won't shoot. (Or who can survive being shot.)
LKH may dance around the issue, claim that Anita is simply never hungry and just likes her coffee, but that isn't what we are seeing here.
Not to be completely insensitive but.. I assume that you felt hunger even when you refused to indulge it.
(And, by the by, YAY FOR YOU for getting a handle on your health issue. Health issues are the WORST and they're so slippery that getting handles on them is really tough. I admire you for not only doing that but being able to talk about it afterwards.)
Genuinely not ever, ever feeling hungry can be indicative of other serious health issues. So, yeah, Anita might not have an eating disorder as LKH says (although all of that whinging and choosing not to eat and being judgmental about other people's weight in the earlier books is pretty strong evidence that Anita has food and body issues) but she's definitely suffering from SOMETHING. (Or maybe it's something plus an eating disorder. *shudders*)
