You know how people that are anorexic starve themselves and everything like that. Well I've been starving myself for days and all that stays on my mind is food. Its like my body wants food and its hard to say no to it, but them my stomach and mind is saying you'll regret it later. What I'm trying to ask is, Is food on your mind all the time its like you can't shake that thought out of your head as much as you want to, but its still there.

Usually anorexics are obssessed with food. It makes sense too, you're depriving your body of food so it's screaming out for it and causing you to think about it all the time.

I used to be anorexic. Yes food was always on my mind. It is natural because you WANT food, you just won't allow yourself to have it. You sometimes fanitcize about food too and basically it is on your mind 24/7. I used to think being anorexic meant you hated food and had no interest in it, that is very rare. Usually you want food all the time and think of it all the time which is part of the internal torture people don't know about.

Yeah, it's called survival instinct.  Starving yourself will do shit all.

Stop cheating and lose weight the real way, there is no easy way to do it.

Food was ALWAYS on my mind. ALWAYS. It's all part of the disorder. I was all about preparing foods for other people. My psych said that it was because I would prepare baked goods, gourmet meals for my family and friends and I'd feel like I can control myself when I don't eat any. It would make me feel good. It's completely normal.

just fucking eat. seriously, we know ur a teenage girl who thinks the world is judging them, and thinks if they dont have model bodies then no one will like them. Jesus, eat, enjoy the food. Your not fat, guys don't judge u as hard as u think we do! Just do what ur Id tells you! which is EAT WHEN UR HUNGRY!

I'm not anerxic anymore but ya it was on my mind alot all the time, I just slept thought, but there right as soon as you start  eating again you gain it all back, if you just cut out junk and eat healthy, lots of fruits and veggies you actually can lose weight and keep it off

I totally know how you feel. I've been down that path before.
That little voice in your head keeps telling you, "don't give up, you'll fail, don't eat, it's not what you need."
Listen, I want you to PM me, okay? I can help you figure this out.

You'll probably binge and gain more back. Happens all the time with people who starve themselves.

Pretty much.

It's on my mind and sickens me, that's what prevents me.
