I've struggled with anorexia nervosa and I still do. Those who truly have anorexia nervosa never really heal from it psychologically, they just learn to know that they are at a healthy weight and they learn healthy eating habits to maintain their weight. When I was a suffering anorexia nervosa, I abused fasting in that I would do pro-longed water fasting for 40 days and additional 10 days and to ensure my metabolism did not slow down I would take fat burning pills and metab boosting pills. Obviously, I knew it was better to just stop eating altogether. I lost nearly all muscle that I had built having been a person who used to lift weights who built bulk muscle and I turned into a sack of bones pretty much. The good thing is my heart was OK because the organs are consumed last once the skeletal muscle and fat reserves are gone. I recovered but anorexia nervosa is still with me and I still cry from it. I hated how I had muscle and I was willing to pro long fast to get rid of it. But knowing the abuse I put my body through and tried to make my body as small as possible...I still remember my ribs nearly sticking out and still hating myself. I used to think no guy would ever love me even though my former boyfriend who is nearly 11 years older than me finds me incredibly beautiful inside and out. Anorexia is certainly painful and it can make someone want to kill themselves just as I almost did. No matter what or what shape or size someone is, EVERYONE is beautiful and someone will always find that person beautiful. Size doesn't matter. It is all about eating right engaging in some activity and being emotional happy that makes a person healthy. Not how skinny or big one is. But I agree with Tom that telling yourself you are sexy 100 times a day works lol. This article definitely hit home to me. I’ve struggled with anorexia nervosa and I still do.

It will rebuid your health. It is easier to break and the curitive value is manyfold greater than water fasting. You are on the right path and balance is and self-image is so important if you want to succeed. Find peace and discipline becomes much easier. Hi stronger,

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 15:32:48 +0000 http://www.fasting.ws/juice-fasting/?p=234#comment-4866 i really enjoyed this article. it seems a lot of anorexia/binging i suffered in the past stemmed from me wanting to be thin, yet still hating myself. ive completed 2 successful fasts in the past, and then i suffered from trauma, and began a lengthy starvation/binging routine, in which i only dropped 7 lbs from my naturally small 105 frame yet lost all muscle mass and metabolism. ive been eating a healthy vegetarian diet(just a little too much), improved my self image, and overcame many obstacles in the past 5/6 months. I am currently five two 125 lbs, and would love to go back to my healthy 105 before i began the anorexia/binging battle. in order to do so, i would love to water/tea fast for 21 days, but its really hard for me to convince myself that I do have the control to overcome this weight gain without repeatting past mistakes. im spiritually stronger, and today i began day one, but i have been attempting to fast for the last week, and fell off the wagon because food is still comforting. im in dire need of cleansing myself from too much alcohol and ciggarettes,,,and i know that if somehow i can convince myself im not 100 lbs again and killing myself, ill be able to successfully complete this, overcome addictions, eat well, excercise etc. Any advice on how to complete this water/tea fast and continue loving myself the way i do now, and not regress back into the mindset i had when i was starving and binging for comfort? i really enjoyed this article. it seems a lot of anorexia/binging i suffered in the past stemmed from me wanting to be thin, yet still hating myself. ive completed 2 successful fasts in the past, and then i suffered from trauma, and began a lengthy starvation/binging routine, in which i only dropped 7 lbs from my naturally small 105 frame yet lost all muscle mass and metabolism. ive been eating a healthy vegetarian diet(just a little too much), improved my self image, and overcame many obstacles in the past 5/6 months.

IF you hate yourself and your body everything you do will be destructive to your health. Go to http://compulsive.ws and read. If you are fasting get a juicer at least you will be getting nutrients. You can eat small amounts of food but at least make it healthy. First I would focus on rebuilding my thoughts, finding peace, forgiveness and acceptance. Hi Carrie,

Nice work. If you want to post here encourage and share my articles count me in. Anorexia is an undisciplined state of mind, as strong emotion disrupt focus. Fasting is motivated by guilt after a binge to purge the guilt. For an anorexic I would recommend juicing a day or two occasionally the help the system recover from the binging and build nutrition in the body. For regular people the one day a week cleans the lymph and give the body a bit of a tune up. It is a hard discipline to maintain as the fasting is usually on the weekend and fasting often conflicts with events. For those that can stick to it, a weekly day of fasting is excellent. Hi Patrick,
