eat 3 meals a day, exercise lots and stop purging (even though it is hard it is VERY bad for your body) and you will lose weight

I would say esophageal cancer would be pretty bad.

You would lose weight faster if you ate properly. Not eating puts the body into survival mode, so it hordes everything as fat, just in case. Eat healthy. That's all it takes.

Obviously not, if you can't stop yourself from purging.

Just because other people have gone longer doesn't mean you can. You have had a ED for a long time, I'm guessing, and as such, you are in no condition to be fasting.

Exactly, that and exercise.
If you get into fasting then you're (if you haven't already) at huge risk of this slipping into an ED. You cannot maintain your weight through fasting, you have to gain healthy eating habits.
You say you have control but you're just replacing purging with fasting, nothing's changing you're just not wasting food anymore.
I haven't eaten all week and that's not because I'm fasting, it's because I've gotten to the point where starving has become a fixation. Take it from me... just try to eat healthy and work out first.
Are you really that fat that you feel that you have to do this to yourself?

PM me, seriously.

Just because other people do it and they look fine, doesn't mean that they are healthy on the inside.

Let's see... I fast for Ramadan, and I can't eat or drink while the sun is up.  I still played sports, but made sure to drink water if I did that.  But some days, my hands would be shaking so bad, that I would eat something (I always had food just in case).  Not to mention a bad diet can make you pass out (yes, I've passed out before, and this wasn't even from fasting).  Ramadan lasts for a month, so I can't eat as long as the sun is up.  Despite waking up at 5am and eating breakfast, and eating at night, it still takes a toll on my body because of the lack of energy.  When ever I was going to go through an excessive sports period, I would make sure to eat properly for the two days before.

Point of the matter is, you may look skinny, but it doesn't make you healthy.  I may be a bit overweight, but at the same time, I'm healthier than skinny people who eat a lot of junk foods.

Doing what you're doing?  Yeah, maybe you'll lose weight, but then you might have muscle problems in your future.  You might seriously damage your body.  You might get an ulcer.  Purging can ruin your teeth, start taking away at the linings in your body... I mean... all this just to be skinny?  Is it really worth destroy your body over?  I mean, you can still lose weight, and at the same time strengthen your body, build muscle, reduce your chances of heart problems in the future... why go for the method that has more downsides that upsides?
