Starvation as a method of suicide?

I know I want to die...but I want to do it in a way that's slow, painful, yet "natural". I don't want to do something like shoot myself because I don't want anyone to have to see that. How long can I expect to live until the time finally comes? Note that I am drinking water still. What sort of symptoms/side effects can I expect?

Update:

Thank you for your concern, but I am already on a plethora of antidepressants. This feeling sunders the medicine because it's simply too strong. It's what I must do.

    It will take you a long time since you're drinking water. You can survive for a while with just water. Side effects? Extreme hunger, hair loss, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, you'll always be cold, constipation, dry skin and hair, depression, irritability, mood swings, anemia, osteoporosis, heart failure, etc. It will be very hard to do. Plus, you will probably have to eat at least a little something, so if you're trying to kill yourself, this is going to take a long time. You shouldn't be doing this. This is absolutely devastating, emotionally. You probably don't care because you are just wanting to die. But this is like an eating disorder and it's so terrible to live through. If you don't kill yourself, doing this might make you develop and eating disorder. Please don't do that.

    She drops herself at a railway. The train derails a few meters before her, and she fails to die. She goes to Jurassic Park, and taunts a raptor. He eats Randall Munroe instead. She offers herself to mad science. Ends up giving birth to a griffin. She puts herself on the way of a tornado. She's blown away several kilometers away, trapped inside a bubble of nothing. The bubble pops and the tornado is gone. Anyways, she fails to die. She eventually gives up, and gets over whatever pushed her towards suicide, so she decides to go back home and live her last years in pace. She's hungry. She attacks a baby elephant. The elephant's mother sees her. Uh-oh.

    Please see a doctor. It is not natural to want to die. There is something chemically wrong in your body. If you were healthy, you would not want to die.
