2 weeks? Bullshit. You'd be so dead it wouldn't even be funny.

  Eat something.


 

 Wrong. The body can go a long, long time without food. I've gone three weeks before.

I thought you could only go 10 days without food?


what the hell? as if you could go for more than 3 weeks without food? what the hell is stopping you from dying from exhaustion? where is the energy coming from?
surely you must be hibernating to enable this
nah you can't have survived only with pure water

Agreed...I've known a girl with anorexia that didn't eat for like 2-3 weeks and she didn't die. You shouldn't state something as a fact if you don't know whether it is or isn't.

And to the OP, if you really haven't eaten that long PLEASE see a Dr!

No. It's about 3 days without water, but food is different. Though the body will start to digest the muscles and such to survive. Starting to eat again is tough, since your stomach is shut down, and your metabolism is in the tank.

Yeah, it's happened to me before and i'm worried it will again. I don't feel the need to eat right now, but i'm worried if i wait any longer it will just be really tough to fix.
But i have been drinking at least 2 litres of water per day.

Should i see a doctor?


Yes, especially if this has happened again.

It sounds like you're not eating simply out of lack of urge to. That's an issue. For me, it was by choice.
