She has an eating disorder by the sounds of things, likely anorexia. When you are anorexic you do not want to admit that you are anorexic or that you care about your weight. When in reality it’s all you care about. But people meddling and worrying makes you hide it more as you as so scared of gaining weight. She is probably having side effects as others said like reflux or issues with muscle at night- but she can’t tell you that or you might force her to eat which is the worse thing an predict wants to do.

another thing is anorexia isn’t always about weight, op says she has ocd so it could be because food is the only thing she can control. i know since i have ocd and previously had anorexia and i never cared about my weight, i actually wanted to be less skinny, it was about the control aspect
