ALL FASTERS PLEASE NOTE: The most common element surrounding ALL Eating Disorders appears to be the inherent presence of a low self esteem (see first link for more info). I have seen many people post to Water Fasting Support with what appears to be low self esteem, so perhaps emotional issues should be tackled as well? Fasting is not a cure-all. You won't find the answer to life's problems in a water fast, thought fasting can improve your mind and body once you are free from all this stress, in my opinion. Life is about EATING HEALTHILY as well, never forget that. Food is your friend, not your enemy. You cannot get the benefits of fasting UNLESS you compliment it with healthy eating.
Many of these support links have telephone helplines:
