Answer 1

The media can play crazy tricks with your head. I'm assuming you meant "movies" when you said "moves", so just don't pay any attention to them. Mot movie stars are stuck-up snobs anyways, you don't want to be like them. They go out and spend their earnings from movies either gambling, partying or on booze and all that bad stuff. If you don't worry about it you'll realize you're not overweight.

But the other part to this is that your body will start to basically shut down once you stop eating since your carb source will be cut off and they give you energy, you'll feel ridiculously tired because there's no protein in your system to repare damaged tissue, and you'll feel overall starved and a feeling of being sucked in because you're not getting any fats in your diet. Not to mention almost all of your body functions in general will be lop-sided if you don't take vitamins or consume them from foods. This includes salt, potassium, iron, zinc, magnesium, vitamins A, B6 and B12, C, D, K, and small amounts of copper.

If you keep up not eating for long enough your body will also build up fluids since water is mainly used to transport nutrients throughout the body. Your body's percentage that is made up of water will skyrocket and you will feel sick to your stomach and you wil want to sit down for the duration of this and it will just take longer and longer to go away as the hours go by.

Answer 2

I was watching the news the other day, and they said that just standing/walking for two hours more a day will help.
Most people who are overweight spend at least 2 hours more just sitting around than the average person.

You should definitely eat regularly. Not eating will only decrease your metabolism. That means that when you finally do eat, even if it's just a little, your body immediately stores it as fat because it knows that's the only source of energy that it's going to get in awhile, and it wants to save up.

Answer 3

Don't not eat. You need to eat to feel healthy. You will become disgustingly skinny if you don't. Besides think about it, your body thinks that there is a famine so when you do eat again, it will store everything and you'll end up like those potbellied kids in those third world countries. Do you want to end up like that? Return to eating, but work your way up. If you are worried about getting fat then eat only in moderation, until your stomach is satisfied. Your stomach doesn't have to be satisfied when it is full. It can be satisfied part way through. Keep and active life style and you won't have to worry about becoming overweight. Those people in the movies that you see, it's pretty much plastic surgery, liposuction, and fine brushing that they use computers to make them look better. Be confident about yourself and you'll be okay.

Take care of yourself.

Answer 4

I used to be really scared of food too,but what you have to do is get yourself in an eating routine with foods you know wont affect your weight. Eat a lot of vegetables (potatoes and corn excluded) and lean meats like fish, chicken & turkey: those sort of foods are very healthy and wont make you gain weight. I promise!
Also take up a walking routine too, it helps clean your mind and keep weight off as well!

Answer 5

Whoa! Skipping meals is very dangerous!!! Hollywood is always telling girls that they should be super thin but the thing you should start eating. If you keep on this track many very bad things can happen like blacking out or even passing out your body needs energy to burn which means it needs food. So ignore all those stupid people saying you need to be thin and EAT!

Answer 6

Starving to lose weight is absolutely wrong. You may need to reduce your meal portion, watch calories, and move your body more (whether exercise, or just walking a bit -- anything would do!). If you are substantially overweight, I would consult with a doctor, nutritionist, and weight loss center for further and proper weight reduction.

Answer 7

Answer 8

better drink water. Try soup. fruits. I am sure you are a nice person and you look fine. Hope that helps...or try hanging out with nice average sized people. Maybe they can peer pressure you into eating.

Answer 9

that's like a mental illness or somethin\
eat something healthy, like fruits, vegetables, drink tea and water. this stuuf doesn't make u gain weight remember. so u'll still feel thin while eating it.

Answer 10

not eating is very unhealthy, eat right and exercise. knowing all the calories that have been burned while exercising, you will realize that you can eat and that food will fuel your body!
