I have a 21 year old cousin, a female, who is obese she's about 5'10 or 5'11 and she weighs like 260... she constantly gets teased by our family members and is really hurting her... she told me she was going on a water diet... and when she gets to 200 pounds she will start drinking vitamins and that v8 juice... i told her that is starving herself and she can die but she doesnt listen.... she told me not to tell anyone.. and i respect that since she is grown she is 21.. but i dont want her to die...... her goal is 130 pounds... she will stave until she is 130... what will happen to her will she die? I really don't want her to but i can't do anything else.

Firstly,her family members need to realize that their remarks are hurting her in a very dangerous way and need to stop,the damage to her self esteem can trigger suicidal behavoir and apparently is.
What concerns me the most is that at her age,she knows that going without food is deadly,it's obvious. I don't think she'll be able to go through with it,but I do think it's her way of crying out for help
Talk to her about finding positive ways of helping herself. There are support groups in every city,from Weight Watchers to Over-Eaters Anon, free support group of people going through exactly what she is.
Weight loss should always be a personal decision,something we do for ourselves. When we react to poisonous relationships and remarks by hurting ourselves,the help we need is beyond mere dieting. I'd really look into Over-Eaters Anon,it's a wonderful support system based on the 12-steps program and puts people in touch with those who care and can help rebuild her self esteem as well as loose weight. When we learn to love ourselves and be proud of who we are as people,we start doing the things needed to bring us health and happiness and dieting is much easier and more fun in a peer group like O.A.
Good luck and remind her of how much YOU value her,even if others don't. She's a sacred,beautiful human being and deserves respect,weight is a personal health issue only and has no bearing on ones worth or beauty.

she needs to excercise!!! im suffering from a disorder right nowand trust me not easy to get out of!!! talk to her before she gets out of hand, she could hurt herself because trust me i know water diets dont work, starving doesnt work, she just need to go on a diet, an dmaybe run. i ran track when i was in 9 and 10th grade and lost 30 pounds!!! if she wants to starve until she is 130 she can kill herself she will have a lot of side effects like constipation, trust me tell her not to!

the only problem - muscles can turn fat into energy
but there is one organ that requires carbs - - - - - the grey matter
the brain needs carbs to think -
she needs to rethink her water diet - or we will all think that she is a couple french fries short of a Happy Meal

Trust me, her survival instincts will kick in and she'll eat before she dies. Or, she'll pass out or get sick from malnutrition and end up in the hospital.
Either way, she'll learn her lesson. Just let time run it's course.
Now OVEREATING, that's the suicide.
