Re: Promoting Anorexia?

I am not promoting anorexia.. im fasting for detoxifying my body which allows me to lose weight. I myself yes truly wants to "start over" and when i clean my body out and detoxify negative emotions, physical symptoms etc etc. I have a clean slate and can really truly change my life for the better.

As for those who are way underweight fasting isnt recommended... BUT if their is an ailment or a sickness i truly believe fasting can truly heal you. Your body naturally will go underweight if need be and then make it up afterwards. Of course their are different kinds of fasting.. and juice fasting would be way more recommneded for those who are very thin and need slower weightloss while detoxifying.

Fasting also, can help food addictions. Its not for everyone .. because some dont use the natural tools given to them in a healthy way.... but this forum doesnt promote anorexia.. we cannot help those who are possibly anorexic and not know it. If they said hey im anorexic should i fast only on water... we wouldnt encourage them.

I have known people who were underweight naturally and needed to gain weight or just regain their health and have went to the Tanglewood center to fast either on water or juice and have been MEDICALLY supervised. This is what i suggest any major ailment or problem should be SUPERVISED. They have come out of that center or others like it a new person. (of course i cannot speak for every fasting center)

I used to be anorexic as a teen. I have batttled food addictions all my life. Because of my lifestyle i have developed stomach problems and have had a hard time losing weight from allt he processesd American Diet junk. Fasting is the only way i have found to get me on track and start anew. I have had setbacks and thats why im on here fasting again.. but im better and more empowered than i used to be. My stomach problems are going away and im learning along the way how to eat after my fast. Fasting isnt just a diet, its also an emotional/spritual awareness for some, which intern helps you achieve your goals much easier, and improve in life.

THIS FORUM IS FREEWILL - PEOPLE COMEING TOGETHER AND VENTING AND ACHIEVING THEIR GOAL THAT THEY WANT TO ACHIEVE. WE ARE NOT DOCTORS WE ARE JUST PEOPLE GETTING TOGETHER VENTING CHATTING ETC. LIKE PEOPLE WOULD AT A COFFEE SHOP.... SO LEGAL ACTION WOULDNT BE SMART - ITS A FREE COUNTRY WE ARE TALKING... WE ARE ADULTS......
