you said that you 'didn't mean to starve today, it just happened.". Sorry, but I don't buy that. Starving does not just happen. you have a choice. you eat or you don't. if you were struggling with eating what you were supposed to eat, that is the time to contact a support team - a sponsor, a NP, etc. We need to find new coping mechanisms and realize we do not need to be vicims of this disease any more. you are stronger than you think you are - you can find new ways to deal with your food, but it never 'just happens'.
