Is this a bad habit that needs to be broken? Otherwise she won't eat.

You should ask your vet to show your how to check your cat's hydration level. It's pretty easy to do, and give your a good idea on your cat's overall health. You essentially just pull up on all the loose skin on your cat's back and ensure it returns to normal relatively quickly. If it slows down they are dehydrated.
