Should I starve myself?

Question

Hello.
My name is Josephina and I am 24 years old and I am heavily obese. I can still walk around and do things, but I am getting bigger and bigger each day and the only thing I can think of to fix the issue is if I just stop eating all together. I've tried countless of diets and exercises, but nothing's worked. Almost everyday I go to the shop and buy junk- food and play the lap-top in my room. My life is torment and I think it's better to say that I have no life, I am very suicidal and to make myself happier is to eat and at the same time I hate to eat because it makes me fat. 

I can't look in the mirror, I hate being in photos and I even get called names. I am almost to the breaking point where I just want to stop eating and starve myself until I do loose weight. I'm so lost and confused, someone please help me? I don't remember the last time I weighed myself.

Answer

No, continue eating but change what you eat. Avoid junk foods and sugary drinks. Eat more fruits, drink more water and become more active--even if it means walking around your neighborhood a few times every week. Drink a glass or two of water before each meal to help feel full faster, hence you will end up consuming less food....and losing weight.

Answer

Starving yourself does not lead to weight loss, only health problems. You probably will need professional help to lose weight while eating right.

Answer

You shouldn't starve yourself because sometime you will have a breaking point and binge eat. Eat more fruits and vegetables, walk around your house more often, and most importantly talk to your parents. They should help get ALL junk food out of the house.
