Lose weight by staving

---

hey anyone, is it true that if you dont eat anything for 7 days you'll lose 6 pounds straight away.

you'll lose weight, how much a person can't say for sure, but it will screw up your metabolism, and when you do start eating again you'll gain it right back along with more

Anorexia does help you loose weight. When I was 21 and met my first husband I was 87lbs. I'm 5' 1& 1/2". According to my doctor I should weigh between 111 lbs and 120 lbs. So yes you can loose a lot of weight. You can die too. And it's when you start eating again that you are at most risk of having a heart attack do to low electrolyte levels.

Yes but small amounts of food can prolong you for long periods of time.
I'm still all screwed up with eating. I go from not being hungry to dizzy and lightheaded in about 15 mins.
I used to drink water when I was hungry so for a long time I couldn't really recognize that I actually was hungry and not thirsty.
After my doctor told me about the electrolyte thing I drank Gatorade to keep them up. I still drink Gatorade, but not for the same reasons. I just love the stuff.

The lightheadedness and dizziness is from low blood sugar. My point it that it deeps wildly without warning.

yes. My day is pretty scheduled due to my baby.

I see my doctor regularly. They aren't sure what to do about it. He agrees it is due to years of starving myslef. Since I did it to myself I just do my best to live with it.

Are you still anorexic???

I think that would depend on your thoughts on that illness. I don't starve myself anymore. And haven't in a long time. However, I still have BDD and I still think about it. The easiest times for me are while pregnant and breastfeeding my kids. While I'm pregnant I feel I should be big and I'm happy with it. While nursing I know that I must eat to make sure I have enough food my baby.
But many people, me included, think it's one of those ongoing conditions that you have for the rest of your life. Like drug addiction or alcoholism.
Hope that answers your question.

OK.. I just can't imagine 87 pounds though. My 12 yr old weighs more than that.

I'm like 117 lbs right now. It's hard to loose baby weight without being able to do any normal sort of dieting. lol I just want to be back to my 115lbs. (Can you see how I still obsess over the weight?)

Well stop it.

Trust me I would if I could.
At least I eat now. lol Once apon a time I would only drink a "souce of life" shake every couple of days and drink Gatorade the rest of the time.
If I could just loose 5 or 10 more pounds I'd look great. lol Well that's what I used to think anyway. Now I'd be happy with my couple of pounds whichis well inside of my doctor's range for my hieght.
