Is it ok for the obese to starve?
I'm 21, 5'4, and 315 pounds. I'm fed up with the obese life and I gave up on food. Been super depressed and suicidal so i decided to become skinny. diets dont work for me cuz i love eating too much, i cant just have a little bit, it will bother me all day. so to prevent myself from eating i never leave my room. only to use the bathroom and drink water. I skip sleep to. I stay up for about two days then I sleep for two days. i dont know if thats an effect but i cant sleep normaly. I havn't eaten anything for 6 days now. The hunger pains are not bad anymore. I got really used to it. they dont even bother me. But starting this morning I keep feeling like i'm going to faint. But i'm so used to not eating that i dont want to eat anymore. I like how fast im losing weight. food looks really disgusting to me right now. I just want to know if I continue to not eat, will I die? I know anorexic skinny girls eventually die, but will i live longer cuz i have a lot of fat to burn?
I drink plenty of water. I dont understand the sugar and salt thing. I never drink soda, even before I was starving myself I never drank juices and fizzy drinks. I do exercise. I lost 15 pounds in one week doing this. I have no control over the groceries that are bought. I just want to know if Ill die. how long would it take to die and stuff. Idk food. i feel like if i eat ill be taking a step back. even a carrot looks like a step back. I simply dont want to eat anymore until i reach a reasonable weight.

Buy nothing but healthy food for your house and the temptation is gone. Obese people lose weight crazy fast with exercise. Anyone going without food for long will die, but the more fat stores, the longer you'll live off of it. I highly recommend being active/eating healthy! Good luck on your weight loss journey. I hope all goes well with you :)

Um, Idk what to say. I mean, you yourself know that what you're doing can't be considered healthy and seems likes not any conveincing can change your mind but, promise me one thing? Stay alive, please.
Also, get up and pour yourself a glass of water, mix a little bit of salt, a little bit of sugar, stir and drink it slowly. Help yourself with it whenever you feel like. Stay well.
