What is the secret recipe for not eating or eating less?
I can't not be obsessed about it. Tried it once, to avoid thinking about fasting, and it made me come home earlier from school when I was supposed to be doing homework. Usually, I can last all day at school, but I dread coming home. Today, for example, I ate nine medium-large buns. Coconut oil doesn't work. Flax seeds don't work. The mantras I come up with don't work. Eating more meals spread out doesn't work. I still overeat or get tired or distracted. Probiotics don't work.
Can somebody help and save me from this hole I'm stuck in?

This is a reply to # 2,281,268If it makes any difference, I am vowing to go on another fast. I don't see any practicality in this until I come home from school tomorrow and see whether I eat or not. Tomorrow is Saturday, so my family will be going to a restaurant. A Chinese vegan restaurant. Last week, I was able to not eat at the restaurant by writing in my diary that I will kill myself if I ate again. It didn't last the second day but I am just grateful that I skipped the restaurant meal. I am not really going to kill myself, I was just desperate. Plus knowing that I will never kill myself makes me have to honor this not eating threat. I am a very optimistic and rational person, so there is no way I will attempt to kill myself.
Tomorrow is a special buffet at the restaurant with 100% more variety of food than normal buffets. I will definitely use my killing myself threat for the restaurant. I will just go there to hang out with old friends and still have a good time. Well, I am running out of ideas for how to not eat, and if the threat can help me not eat for one meal, I will use it. I have been dealing with this problem for years. Still the same old, same old. I am just grateful I only eat one meal a day usually, even though I feel I have overeaten during this one meal. I am beginning to have spleen and stomach problems, confirmed by more than one healer.
I really don't know what to say to make myself not eat for an extended amount of time. They do say being addicted to food has the same neural pathways as being addicted to heroine. I am just going to end with an I love you all. :D kisses, hugs, gazing in to your eyes calmly, giving you a shoulder rub, purrs on your lap, head butts, and kisses again for an hour

Usually what happens after I have eaten is that I will have nothing to do. I just don't get how I always come home to get wasted. So I have nothing to do right now. Kind of passive at home, or half passive at least. Wonder what I am passionate for that could occupy me instead of food, food all the time. Well, I can think of meditation, lecture videos, cleaning my room, brain games, vocabulary, books, and piano. I bet if I make a really fancy to-do list like they do at a therapy facility or school, I would follow it. Just pretend that the activity is a must. But I can't put too much down. Maybe no more than ten things per day. Oh I just remembered something. I planned to exercise for fifty minutes after school everyday. I can't believe I forgot. And I plan to watch a College Algebra lecture. I run out of time at the end of day because of food. So I plan to do a to-do list that gives no time for food. The activities are official.
Thank you for your support.

This is a reply to # 2,281,284Went to a mall, made a wish in the wishing fountain to fast. We will see whether this works. Maybe I don't have to use the suicide threat at all. While I was making my wish, I was defining all the boundaries in my head like liquid only, from then on, until forever, but then I thought what about probiotics? So I was still defining the boundaries when I walked a while away.
It is 2:50 am right now. I don't have to get up until four and a half hours later. I always get up in the middle of the night, use my iPad, then fall back to sleep. Yesterday I fell asleep, because the College Algebra lecture I was watching was kind of dull. I don't think this should be an excuse. I think I should tough through it. I am just surprised I only slept not even five hours.
I have to admit that I have annoying jock itch that doesn't go away with ointment or spray medications. I wonder whether this can go away with fasting, maybe from strengthened immune system.
There is this celebrity within my organization that fasted for 25 years already, and last night my parents were talking about how she always wore the same thing, because she never sweats.
Here is my plan for the morning until I have to go to school: not fall back asleep again. 1. College Algebra lecture. 2. Play dual n-back. 3. Play Flags. 4. Read my news blog emails--PsyBlog. 5. Learn vocab from a book. 6. School. 7. Come home. 8. Shower. 9. Clean my room for the party Sunday. 10. Go to restaurant.
I love you!- Re: Secret Recipe to Fasting asoidfgold

How long are you planning to fast for? I don't know if you said. Maybe I missed it. At any rate, I'm planning to do another fast. Last time I made it to 10 days I believe, but this time I would like to fast to completion; however, my lifestyle, while not busy, might be /slightly/ too strenuous, so if it gets to be too much, I might have to alternate a juice day or two in there. We'll see.
And to answer your question. When you feel it necessary. Idk what you're fasting for, but I am fasting for my health and quality of life. It's not an ideal situation. I'm kind of desperate. But it gives me the motivation to continue. A blend of the both of us might be ideal!- Re: Secret Recipe to Fasting LIndaWu

This is a reply to # 2,281,358To answer your question, I am planning to fast forever. I did already say this, but not in a complete sentence. Thanks for your advice about fasting being a necessity. Anyway, the reason that I think I can fast forever is that I know a woman who has fasted for 25 years and still going strong. My own dad fasted for a year and half. My grandma fasted five months.
Still, my idea is kind of far-fetched seeing that I kind of wanted to eat seven minutes ago. Well, now I'm better for some reason. I was just going to go on Curezone and say how tough it is, but now the craving has disappeared.
I still had to sleep extra three hours in the morning after staying up after waking up in the middle of the night. I just didn't think I would be able to read with this tired feeling in my eyes from not sleeping since 2 am.
Well, it is nice meeting you. I'm not sure whether I would be a good fasting buddy if I can't hold myself accountable. We will see what kind of person I really am and whether I'd be a good fasting buddy in five hours, when I go back home from school. Wonder whether that wishing fountain did anything to me.
I am just worried what would happen if I ate again today. That would be the low point of my day everyday. I am fairly optimistic until I eat. The amazing thing is I'm still optimistic after a while after the eating episode.
I am just going to think of taking a shower after school. That'll keep me occupied. Then clean the cat litter and my room. Wishing fountain, please work. I can feel its law of attraction.
This is a necessity most of all to keep me happy. There are a bunch of other reasons like spiritual, physical, or mental, but I just want to be happy. Not sure whether this means anything to me or will make me fast. Probably not, since I tried tons of thoughts like this, tons of reasons to fast, and they were all to no avail.
I am sick and tired of my habit of eating. Why do I eat? Why won't I fast? (Trying to get my anger going to motivate myself. Before I am about to eat, just be angry, haha. Anger has its uses.)- Re: Secret Recipe to Fasting LIndaWu

So I will try the anger thing before I'm about to eat, and also, someone privately messaged me, telling me that the secret recipe to fasting is to face and live the pain until it no longer has power over us. There is the pain of learning.

This is a reply to # 2,281,278Hi Linda,
I have resisted responding to your messages for a long time.
I think that you are obsessed about eating and fasting. We have talked about this before....IMO, you are replacing some strong emotion by eating. As far as I can tell from your posts is that you did not have a desirable relationship with a friend. That may be one reason, but you need to examine this for yourself. First thing you can do is to post on "Relationship" forum and ask "Soulfulsurvivor" to give you some pointers.
After that if you can get professional help that would help you for long term. You are young and will rebound from this if you take small steps.
I personally think you should not fast till you solve some of these issues. After you solve your issue of eating you can cleanse your body with all types of cleanses including fasting.
I feel for you. I know you will conquer this issue.
Peace.
Archus
