STARVATION

I know a lot of people have gotten to the point where they�ve considered starvation a good weight loss alternative. I�ve considered it myself, more then once. Never had the will power though.
One of my favorite reads, caradawn seems to be toying with the idea now. Not too long ago I was searching for a way to tell her how impressed I was that she�s stuck to her exercise program. That I wished I had some of her dedication. But the dedication to starve is something I do not want.
The danger of weight loss is not setting reasonable goals. You can�t say I want to loose weight until I can look into the mirror and be happy with what I see. Its just not reasonable. You don�t want to find yourself one day strapped down in a hospital bed being forced nutrients intravenously before you can accept your size.
Starving scares me. It�s one of those things that will never get better. Where enough will never be enough. So I�ve thought about it, but I would never do it. Because I�m afraid that if I ever found that I was strong enough to starve myself, I would also find that I�m not strong enough to stop.
So I listen to my mother, she says that the best way to loose weight is to eat a lot of food, and throw it up afterwards.
(Only kidding.)
