She's a newbe and she asked if I was going to take a break I said no I work through lunch.She takes 20 minute lunch breaks. Longer than anyone. Now on her 2nd week she's accusing me of a eatting disorder. One girl there told her I throw up if I do eat.
What's up with these women? What's it there business? Should I continue to ignore them? I will not eat @ work to shut them up.

Petty busybodies should be beneath your notice. Ignore them.

I know how you feel, as far as the way the people in your office NOSEY. People appear to have the scenes that they work somewhere and they need to know your entire personal life. I say Fu ck them, do you. Be a bi tch and tell the newbee your anorexic, just mess with her then maybe shell leave you alone. If she doesn't get just tell her you are not comfortable with people questioning you about your personal life at work. The newbee at my job is a lot, a lot older than i am and she is very nosey, I can't stand her and it has nothing to do with her age, its just her, so i ignore her a lot and don't answer her questions, i speak to her if i have too. I thing for the most part she knows when not to bother me. Its a shame because it messes up your work environment and everything else. She's just anoying. Good luck

Actually by law you are entitled to a half hour lunch break, so her 20 minutes is still short. I use that time to pick up dry cleaning, etc. It's none of her business what you do with that time or your eating habits.

I to do not eat at work because it makes me sick due to heat and or time some people just don't understand and to have people say you have a eating disorder at work opens the place you work for a lawsuit called harassment and slander if they are aware of it happening and do nothing to stop it

confront them and simply state it is your choice not to take a break or a lunch and to leave you alone. If they don't, go to your supervisor with the situation.

Barf on them... j/k.
Sounds like they are bored and jealous of your figure. Tell them your breakfast is huge and dinner is gigantic.
