For RAINY and others :)
Hi Rainy :)
Ok, where to start here..
I just want to make a wee confession and explain why I think this way now. I now agree with Anya that nobody has the right to diagnose someone with something. Here most of us do not have medical education to do so. Well, after watching one good video recently I can surely say even doctors can’t diagnose people with mental illnesses, for instance. It is a bit irrelevant here but it is about putting labels on people. The video is provided below.

When someone does so and the person persuades themselves then he/she starts believing in it and it could actually happens. It is quite dangerous practice so better not to go into it. Look, I am SORRY, perhaps I was one of those who made u think u have that ED. Rainy, FORGET it. No need to put labels on anyone and on urself. It is not right.... I will explain u and others the way I think now. There are two categories of ppl who can eat on time, do not overeat, do not eat at night. Other ones do another way round. Perhaps it is called the way I have called that before but surely it is something to work on. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. I do NOT think fasting could cure this problem though. Fonty (Andrew) has been fasting for very long time (YES he got many health benefits from it) but it DID NOT cured his issue with overeating. I had a talk with him some time back. Steve (Mouseclick), he never had that issue so for him it was easy to return to his normal ways of eating after his fasts were over. Fasting CAN’T cure overeating. It either can leave it on the same level or worsen it. Plus as soon as u finish ur fast (even a short one) with binging – it will be just extra shock for ur entire body. Do u really need it? What fast for?? I do not think ur God wants u to fast if u struggle that much with (occasional) binging afterwards. I think u just trying to persuade urself in it.
Yes, u were absolutely right, Rainy, we do not have just successful stories here. But everyone wants to hear the successful one. Right?... Forget about what ppl here could think of u. It doesn’t matter. The main thing WHAT U THINK OF URSELF. Though take into consideration advices/support of people who really wish u the best, who care about u and on ur side. Coz sometimes we do not believe in ourselves and here what our friends for :))...
Yes, I understand ur point of not willing to give up. But sometimes it is the best way, a WISE way.:) It is not giving up, it is re-thinking ur ways ‘how to get there’. The ways, which give u less stress and more happiness, u could enjoy life much more simply by not fasting but rather eating healthily, fast/not fast 24 h a week, exercise in moderation. WHY do u consider fasing as the best way to solve all ur perhaps ‘imagined’ problems? Are u struggling with weight? May be candida? What is the reason?? Are u ana/ mia? Plz share (or send me email). I would love to help u. :) Just do not be afraid to speak out. Otherwise HOW we can look deep inside, into the core of what bothers u. Do not afraid of others. Many of them have also something to sort out, I am quite sure.
I just beg u, stop ur fasting efforts at least for some time. Lets talk first and the rest is up to u, dear :)
If u wont to contact me via yahoo (messenger), my id there is green_eyed_nadia.
Wishing u the very best,
