A question about water fasting please read and help how can I eat again?

I am trying a water fast and am just drinking water and no food. I read all this stuff on the Internet about it being good but I am on day 3 of not eating and just drinking water and I feel horrible my stomach hurts soooo bad, have a headache, chest pain , feel really weak, my legs feel like jello and all I want to do is sleep. The problem is that I have lost seven pounds in 3 days and now I'm terrified to eat because I'm afraid I'll gain it all back and more. I am starving but can't eat. How long have you gone with just water? How long can I survive? I'm 5ft6inches and am 114 pounds.

    That's not REAL WEIGHT. As soon as you start eating, it'll come back and probably then some. Eat some food, fasting is stupid.

    meh... i could never survive on just water. but my teacher for boot camp tells me to eat around 2000-2200 calories a day... and on the same day burn more then 2000-2200 calories that is a good and healthy way to loose weight.
