Hi lil bit,

I agree with the others here. Starving is a serious matter and can lead to severe complications and possible death. It’s not something that should be tested. And DePressMe gave perfect examples of what could happen. I am not a doctor either but from my own personal struggle with anorexia, I will just flat out say that my body was seriously shutting down without me even realizing it. If not for the ER and many treatments I wouldn’t be here. The body is not meant to function off of starvation just as a vehicle cannot run without gas. Even though you see others living off of very little food it does not mean that they are healthy and functioning. When your body has nothing to work with it begins to rely on what you have left meaning your tissues, muscles, organs, etc. And because people’s bodies are different it’s impossible to determine how prolonged starvation would affect you. A girl I met was starving herself the same “exact” way I was... but she died. Please, please, please seek professional help if you are finding yourself falling into these thoughts. Sorry if I sound paranoid but like the others here, your question spooked me and I’m genuinely coming from a place of care and concern. Just keep talking... there are people listening and who care about your well being.

Be kind to yourself. ~ Bee
