I've recently began rereading Twilight and just began chapret six.

It really bothers me how often she mentions skipping meals. There's nothing wrong with doing it once or twice. (We all probably skip meals from time to time).

The fact that she says she's very slim makes it worse. (Though I don't find her to be incrediby emaciated in the first place)

I'm not someone who's speaking out of jealousy, if anyone wants to accuse me of that. I an three inches taller and I do weigh a considerable number of pounds less than she does, but I really hate how she talks about skipping meals all the time.

I honestly don't remember her mentioning it that much. But I haven't read Twilight in a loooong time, so it's possible I've just forgotten.

Same case with katiecain. But I do remember something about Bella making/eating spaghetti, lasagna and some other food. Can't be too sure though. Haven't read the books in ages.

I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that these books were written by link. Bella is everything Stephenie wants to be - the center of attention, special, loved... and yes, thin. If Stephenie can't have it all in her real life, why not give it to her alter-ego/dream!self?

well...i dont remember the book mentioning anything about food, but i'd say she does.

But you already knew that :)

Doesn't she say that eating is "trivial" or something according to the Cullens and it makes her feel shallow and trivial? I'm sure she does, something along those lines.

I never notice (I've had my twilight book ripped up so that's why)

I noticed around Edward she didn't eat much but honestly I'd put that down to nerves around his "sparkling beauty". I don't think it's because she has an eating problem, you lose your appetite when you're nervous. I think I remember on the honey moon he made her food a lot and she ate bucket loads.

I skip meals, too. But I'm a snacker - I just kind of snack throughout the day rather than eat 3 solid meals. How do we know Bella doesn't snack in the middle of the day to make up for her missed meal?

Well sure it doesn't talk about food a lot, but Bella eating isn't that central to the plot or anything. And it did mention her making food/eating a bit, so no, not really....

I don't think so ^_^;
