It is horrible what starving your body does...it is ravaging your insides and your mind...Read the effects of starvation and think about it. All self harming is horrible, but starving your body and your mind creates sometimes irreversible damage to your heart and your brain...Do you want to be like Terry Schiavo? She ended up in a coma and ultimately a persistent vegetative state for years in a hospital bed over her self starving, a constant hurt not only to herself but all who loved her. Don't put yourself on that path.

I went 5 days and felt better than I had in a long time...Short fast of 1 day per week is really great!!! Keeps one on track and focused to eat healthy (at least for me).....

Sounds like your blood sugar is extremely low. Some people can tolerate that OK but others (including me) experience what you're describing.

Why do you want to hurt yourself? What you're doing, as others have already said, can be very dangerous, and can even cause permanent damage to your health.

Talk to us - we're here.

Katie, it's what I have done since I was 5 years old. I don't know anything else. I live like this, my body is used to it. You can't, it is not a way to self harm that is easily corrected. If you need to hurt yourself, why not do something constructive too, you could pick litter off the street or wipe the bottoms of demented people. If you starve yourself, you will be joining them soon enough, don't do it sweetie. You need to love yourself for exactly who you are, you deserve that. No one deserves to be harmed, NO ONE, I love you, and I'm a nasty old thing, so if I can, you should. xoxoxoxoxox

Its not just self harm that you'll do...its die a slow and painful death but if thats what you want..........

You really wanna know what this can do to you?

Look at this web page. I'll put caution on it fo those who are very sensitive but this is real life so it's something I think should be seen.

Good, I'm glad that stopped this thread dead.

I am sorry if this thread caused any problems for anyone; I did not mean for it to.

I don't know how long you could go but I think it would be a long and painful process. Not recommending doing anything at all but for me....I wanna go fast do it fast....period! But I usually come to my senses after sulking for a while...

I dont know how long you can go without eating foods. But, for two years i was eating only one meal a day... and i was happy with how i looked. But when i was eating a normal diet, 3 meals a day, and i noticed a change in my weight, i got really paranoid and tried 2 eat less. But i couldn't go on one meal a day, so instead i took the 'i dont care' attitude, ate chocolate and pizzas and whatever i wanted. I'm still a size 8, and now i have curves, instead of being boney..... so my 'slight' eating disorder is no longer. Yeah, it returns sometimes but i deal with it by eating more! And if u get enough exercise there's no reason why u wil get fat. Good luck

i went 6 days with no food only water i was hospitalized it sucked oxox

i went for 10 weeks by eating nothing but a yoghurt a day and drinking plenty of water. i lost a lot of weight though and ended up in hospital. its not reccomended! xxx
