[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2177957, member: 6467"] I think that your explanation makes your issue very clear. You stop eating and you get anxious, then more anxious. So your issue is your anxiety. From your description you can't cope with planned fasting. When I fast I feel some initial hunger pangs but I know that they will soon pass. After that I am not hungry, and can go for 2-3 days without eating and without hunger pangs. After about 3 days I get some hunger pangs but I am neither anxious nor starving. The hardest part is usually breaking the fast; once I start eating again I can get massive "munchies". Fasting is a deliberate state of short term denial for long term gain which should be approached in a calm and positive frame of mind. If it causes you major anxiety then you shouldn't do it.
