BUT ANOREXIA AND EATING DISORDERS AND DIETS ARE FOR GIRLS, THAT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE THE CASE WITH ANITA!
Actually, the way she lambastes thin women all the time, looks down on dieters, and would doubtlessly see anorexia as a matter of vanity rather than mental illness makes me all the more think you might be right and she's just ignoring it because of all the aforementioned preconceptions and prejudices she has about it that make it, in her head, not something she could ever suffer from.
And given her need for absolute fucking control over everyone around her, control over her own body in this way might well be a part of her too, especially given how otherwise out of control it is now.
