Starving yourself is not healthy, neither is cycles of rapid weight loss and gain. You probably have an eating disorder in its early stages. It's a lot easier to treat ED's in the early stages than when they progress to the point that you "look anorexic". Get help now!

I've had anorexia (well, I guess I've still kinda got it) and I went through dramatic weight loss, excessive exercise, long periods of starvation etc etc.
I think you are having the same kind of thoughts I used to have about food and weight issues.
Please talk to someone before it does turn into anorexia.
You need to know you're not alone. Just because you don't look anorexic, it doesn't mean you don't have the mental state for it.
Anorexia isn't a disease or an illness... it's a state of mind.
Well...that's what my therapist told me anyway.
Hope everything works out for you.

hey girl i feel for you. you probably should get some help about this. i know you think that this will mean you will have to go to a treatment center but what most girls don't realize is that an eating disorder is not just a physical disorder but many times there is a basis in your emotions and your past so you need to get help there. is there someone you can trust to tell this too who can help you if not just e-mail me and i can give you the name of some places and people. you aren't that bad right now but if you don't get help it can get so much worse for you. i am so glad you asked this right now and are worried about it.

hi ya ,i wouldnt class this as a eating dissorder.most people with the disorder dont have a clue they have it till there like 6 stone,starving yourself isnt a good thing but as long as its only for 4 days im sure you will be ok.if you went weeks like it and felt guilty when you eat then maybe but i wouldnt say you have a eating dissorder,good luck and keep eating!!
