erm........ only 2-3 days? lol, that's a normal occurance for me! i've done weeks at a time. The longest stretch i've been without any food was 53 days. (actually 56 but i don't count those other 3).
Sometimes i don't eat when i'm depressed; other times all i do is stuff my fat face. Some days i just don't eat because i don't want to. Then again, *thinks* i call a days worth of food a yogurt, OR a bowl of cereal, OR soup. (sometimes i eat more that that though, like a salad OR soyburger, OR sandwhich). Or, not and lol. I have my good days and bad days. I am trying to be normal and eat like a normal person instead of a toddler, but well, whatever. Then again, i have issues lol, so these comments may not be entirely helpful! lol.
But personally, I've always wanted to beat my last record. I think i can do it.... but, well, that's not necessarily a good thing.
:P
?
*edit* yea! i got a thumbsdown! that means my crazed-jealous stalker contact is back! woo-hoo! they're totally obsessed with me! They TD my every answer!
well i would only ever do it for the fourty hour famine so probs 2 days
i can go without eating for about 5 hours :)
I can't go without eating for 4 hours....whether I'm sad or not!
2, that was the most. I worked and slept as normal and no one knew the difference.
2 hours tops I get really grouchy if not
one day
I went without eating for 2 days once but it wasn't by choice. I think all I had was water.
from breakfast to supper so about 5-7 hours loll
Fasting is interesting in a way, because it is not quite what you would expect. One gets hungry in the first day, then for then next few days one can sometimes be very hungry, but after 2 or 4 days, you no longer feel so very hungry. You do not have much energy, but you do not desperately want food. I have fasted for 2 weeks, and at the end of that time, I did not feel so very hungry. Friends who have fasted for longer say that after long enough - usually more than 2 weeks, they do again get hungry.
After a longer fast - more than 2 or 3 days - you have to start eating gradually. In world war 2, when soldiers freed people from the concentration camps, if they gave them too much food all at once, they often died.
I did not do my fasting to lose weight, but as part of meditation retreats.
15 hours Its the longest time I ever go without eating before.
It maid me feel depressed , irritated and my energy was like zero.
So even if you are depressed sometimes try to eat anyway,
or you will just feel more depressed and look at your situation more negative then it actually is.
One day. It was when we were in some Island in Mexico saving Common Dolphins that were disoriented stranded at the beach and practically dying. We slept at the beach in our tenth that night. All I remember eating that night was cheese doodles and that's not really real food for me. The next day there wasn't anything to eat at all but with everything that was going on, Dolphins dying and stuff food was the last thing on my mind.
