Fasting and diet is important but starving yourself really is not good idea. Glad you made it through and hope you are looking after your health now and am concerned with your health as well as your feeling!

People that do not know the true cause of anorexia don't truly know but fasting and dieting starving is not something I chose anorexia is weird it has nothing at all to do with food but all involves food strange it took me I did not chose it it is like cancer it started I did not without treatment it grows and grows as it takes over your mind and body anorexia is all about something one can control in their life when trauma such as I in my childhood abuse 40 yrs of anorexia lots of mental help professional in last 7 yrs wow
