Eating is good for you, take this from someone who used to not eat very much. I was trying to lose some weight (even if everyone I knows thinks I’m skinny) and not eating seemed like the easiest way to do it. The media always shows super skinny people, but what they don’t show is the photoshop or the extreme struggle to stay skinny. I’d slowly stopped eating in general and you could see the effects. It brought down my energy levels and my stomach was always growing. The only time I ate was at dinner because I ate with my family during that time, but I never at much there. On average I ate about between 100-550 calories a day and when ever I felt hunger I just drank water. I didn’t accomplish my goal of losing weight from not eating after a long period of time. After a while I realized how bad it was for me not to eat from bad stuff that had happened and I slowly started eating again. Not a lot. But a little. It makes a big difference. I ate carrots at lunch just to eat something and it was helping me keep energy up. I then added in some goldfish and then added in more food. Now I’m still not eating as much, but I’m eating. I don’t eat anywhere near the recommended amount, but I’m working my way there. Eating anything is better than nothing. If you really don’t want to eat, eat a fruit or a vegetable. It doesn’t hold very many calories and it had the vitamins and minerals you need. You can eat a lot of them before gaining any weight. Starting somewhere is better than staying where you are. So please eat. I know first hand that once you stop eating that it’s easy to just continue to not eat. You just have to take one step to eat and it will help. I promise.
