I really hope you plan on doing this some what in a healthy way because if you plan on starving yourself you're at even high risk for organ failure etc. etc. because you're coming from an overweight bmi intending to go to an underweight one.

probably not what you wanted to hear from here but oh well.

I know, I'm not planning on starving all of it away. It would be nice if that were healthy with few consequenses, but there are far too many for that. I just need support in whatever way i plan on losing. Be it veggies for the rest of my life, or some random diet, or fasts, or whatever, I need support.

I understand there are dangers, thank you for making sure I knew though.

You need to rethink your long term goal weight. It's ridiculously different to your current weight. I'm quite willing to bet you would die before you reached that weight. So don't try. I'm assuming this application was made in a time of desperation and tears. If you made this decision with a supposedly clear head, you need to see a doctor ( ... )

I had anorexia when I was in lower grades. I stopped eating all together and lost a lot of weight. I know what it is like. And I set a goal that low, because I'm a person that needs an unrealistic goal to accomplish anything. Over all I want to be about 115, maybe a little more. But I've already gone back to how I was in yester-years. I lost 20 pounds in a month and a half. Its very hard to offend me, because I understand many different angles. I'm already lost in numbers and self rage and binging and purging and fasts and counting everything. I know how Ana treats people, I remember clearly, but when all I can think about is hipbones again, and collar bones (mine are already noticeable even at my size) and the looks and smiles I used to get ( ... )

Surely the fact that now your weigh over 200lbs shows you that starving is not a long term way of losing weight. Sure, you'll lose it, but you'll gain it right back again. If you genuinely want to be thin, at your size I'd suggest a sensible diet so that your weight loss will at least be maintained and if you do things gradually the changes are more likely to stick, you will adopt a new healthier way of looking at food rather than stuffing your face with whatever it is that's made you weigh over 200. Drastically changing over night is not going to change your natural eating habits, you'll just flip right back to them. If you want support, try taking the advice that you're being offered. Afterall, I'm rather an expert at losing weight, so surely I'll know the best ways of going about it ( ... )
