Soooo, I got a few questions. I'm not gonna jump to the whole 'omg eat or die, its bad for you to starve" cuz I'm not the kind of person to state the obvious stuff i learned in health class, I think we're all at least high school educated here. (ph33r my purposeful slaughter of grammar)

Questions are: Are you stressed or have you been emotionally hurt in some way in the last month or 2?

Is this only something recent?

i ask because (whooo personal anecdote time) I had an episode like this that lasted for about 3 months. I got dumped, I felt flawed, I attacked my easy and obvious personal insecurity in that I felt fat (I am, theres no reason to pretend I'm not) So I went 2 1/2 weeks without eating anything. I had the kind of decomposing dying breath that brushing your teeth could not rid you of, I was weak and dizzy yet I was still working in a 100 degree pizzeria chugging nothing but water.

Eventually i cracked, I knew I couldn't just NOT EAT.

I just confronted the issues on why I was feeling the way i did about eating, realized I just needed to feel responsible and purposeful in the way I ate, and turned it in to a short term obsession.

I lost a lot of weight so I mean, some good did come out of it, I don't particularly like raisins, but you should go grab a bag of them and just make yourself eat them for a while whenever you feel like you should eat but just can't do the whole "meal" thing.

It's something at least. Raisins did me some good

ok, now for TFP to offer their more serious wisdom, i'll be over here cam-whoring, kthx
