I think it’s important that you understand that what you’re doing is self harm. It’s an eating disorder and you need help.
The fact that people have done extreme fasting before doesn’t mean it’s a good or healthy thing to do. The fact that you feel like a failure for eating food is extremely troubling.
You’re going to do more harm to your family if you kill yourself doing it rather than just eating less food.
I’m overweight. If I was underweight, then sure, what I’m doing is wrong and unhealthy and dangerous. But I’m not…
Its not that I feel like a failure for eating food either…
And besides. I’d never be able to kill myself through not eating because, if it wasn’t clear enough, I HAVE BINGE EATING DISORDER. And if you don’t know what that is, look up obese people. So in other words, don’t you worry, I get my calories IN, I’m sure more than you.
Sory but I’m sick of all the ‘get help’ comments.
No, it’s still unhealthy if you’re overweight, especially if you’re also severely restricting water intake. Extreme fasting can damage your heart, cause insulin resistance, cause muscle loss, and in extreme cases, refeeding syndrome.
You’re just trading eating disorders at this point. You’ll have better long term results if you actually address the reasons you got obese by working with a mental health professional and focusing on healthy eating habits and an exercise regimen.
I’m saying this as a formerly obese person too.
To be Frank, I can’t see that happening so anyone suggesting me to see a professional it’s just not going to happen.
And, I have A LOT of water weight that keeps me going believe it or not.
I’ve done a lot to my body over my life. I know this is what I need.
If you’ve done a lot of damage to your body over your life, why are you intentionally doing more?
Being obese is already really bad for your heart and pancreas, and you want to do something that can make it even worse? Plus all of the damage rapid weight loss can cause.
If you really have concern for the well-being of your family you need to stop and get help before you passively kill yourself.
