What is the longest time you have went without eating a meal? I went 3 days without eating any meals last week(or maybe it was 2 weeks ago...I can't remember), all I had was an egg roll from lunch at school. Wednesday I had to work during dinner so I didn't have anything to eat(don't usually eat school meals). Thursday I had an egg roll at lunch which was terrible, went out with some friends to see a movie and then out to eat, but I didn't want to spend $10 on a meal so I had nothing . Friday I had to work again. I never really thought about it until Saturday morning, and I wasn't really ever hungry.
 
A week when I had the flu, only drank sprite etc. Us fat arses can live off our own fat for weeks!
 
3 days i think eating nothing and only drinking water then i was sick.
I was ill you see.
 
I've been a few days when i was ill without food, i drank lucozade.
 
I think three days was about the max, I dunno I wasn't sick or anything. I just woke up one day and had absolutely no appetite. I didn't eat, only drank water for the three days. When I finally did eat again I had a small sandwich and couldn't even eat 1/4 of it becuase it made me so full. Hmmmm starting to feel like that again actually.
 
we're you depressed at the same time innervision, i found it makes me not eat. :-/
 
When my wisdom teeth were taken out. The anesthesia knocked me out for a good week, and I think in that time I ate maybe about 4 or 5 cups of JELLO. When I could finally move without throwing up, I ate a giant thing of chili cheese fries, 4 coney dogs, and downed a liter of water. Then I threw up. But it was worth it. :p

Couple years ago, since then I'm pretty sure I've eaten something every day. ;)

nah, not then, but I was working at a fast food place. I think I was just genuinely tired of food. :)
 
12 hours for me. though one time, my friend did nothing but drink water for 4 days... heh heh, whenever he tried to do ANYTHING, even something as simple as playing a video game, he just got really tired and fell asleep.
 
36 hours, and I could have lasted longer but it was not necesarry, mind you this was because I had a severe case of foodpoisening, I had to voilantly trew up 5 times in one morning, after that, you really don't feel the need to eat.
 
13 days. It was a test to see how much weight a person can loose and the temptations that come from not eating. Was pretty cool because after day 8 you dont feel the need to eat anything.
 
I went a week with only drinking water the whole time I was in Colorado hiking (yes, I go outside)

Wtf...you had nothing to eat at all?
 
When I had flu, all I had was a few glasses of water in just under a week. I lost nearly a stone (14 pounds). I only really got the weight back when I was riding my bike everyday for 2 hours...though, since my tyre is completely bust I haven't been able to do that for a week or so. Its horrible actually, not having that muscle tone. I feel so weak ;(

I try not to go long without eating though, especially since I tend to exercise so much nowadays...I can just keep on eating and eating. Its weird that I most of the time I will eat twice as much as I expect, without even realising it until I've finished. I really do like my food though. In fact, people always call me a slow eater but I just take time over my meals. In the evening, I often take up to two hours eating one meal.

Ya its a system our bodies have that is designed to allow us to more comfortably get through droughts and famines in ancient times. Apparently that system also helps add to the negative effects of anorexic people.

After a few days of eating nothing your body decides it will be awhile before it will get any food so it basically stops complaining and you no longer feel hungry.
 
That is also the reason why crash diets of simply not eating, are no good. Once you get some food in you again, your body will suck up everything in an attempt to refil those layers of fat. In the end you will just have starved youself to achieve high muscle wastage and probably more fat than you had in the first place...either that or you look likea skeleton.
 
If i dont eat regularly i get cranky..veeery cranky!
 
still on it

well im 12 yrs old, ive gone so far one day without eating.....i guess its cause im depressed.......like i already feel weak, its just that i am really hungry, but i told everyone i am going without eating. I feel extra weak cause i was really sick when i started not eating......ive been drinking water...;( ~*~*~*Laura*~*~*~
 
A few days. I was sick. I sipped Dalamari... it kept me going.
 
I went a week and a half only eatin a spoonfull of rice per meal, then 2.5 days of no food at all before I was asked rather insistantly to stop. Eating only a little bit was much harder than nothing. I want to try it again, for longer sometime. The goal was to see what it's like to be hungry, and I wanted to go a bit longer. I lost that "I'm hungry" feelin pretty quick, and mostly felt tired and moody.

Still stand by this statement. Though recently I went 36 hours without food because I just forgot to eat entirely, just drank Code Red and played games most of the time. :|

I don't know why you are on this forum, why you just bumped a 2 year old thread, or whether you are serious or a joker.

Either way, can't take chances with an issue as serious as this:

You want to eat! Anorexia will kill you! "So what, I don't care about life, I'm depressed" No! Look: Your parents care about you, your teachers care about you, your friends care about you. Don't let them all down by doing something stupid. You'll no doubtedly end up miserable in a hospital, recovering from nutrient defficiency and a terrible metabolism.

If you think you are depressed, read the world news. You're small enough so tha tyou don't know what is happening around the world, that's probably why you are feeling sorry for yourself. Take a look:

New York Times:
6 Bombings Kill at Least 46 Iraqis in Shiite Area of Baghdad
4 U.S. Soldiers Are Killed in Afghan Attack
Captors Tortured American, Then Killed Him, Iraq Says
Jordan Hangs 2 for Killing U.S. Diplomat

And that's only today.

Keep these two things in mind: Stop being selfish and feeling for yourself - think about others, put things in perspective.

Hope I can help.

Honestly, this just means you are fat, and you should avoid eating alltoghether until older men start to notice you.

Is spamming the limit of your abilities?
 
I had food poisoning (Makes you puke like crazy) and I didn't eat for like 2 - 2 1/2 weeks, I wasn't hungry either, I was too focused on me gaging (I didn't have anything left in my stomach to puke out). It's nasty, I drank cold water and puked it up 1 minute later and it was still cold! ew!
