I just feel like self harm implies harm, if that makes sense? Like no harm comes from it, I just deny myself food for extended periods of time because I don't deserve food.
I understand how you feel, and I'm sorry you're in so much pain. Malnutrition is harm, and going for long periods without eating will eventually cause health issues even if they are not immediate. It harms your brain & other organs and weakens your body significantly. It is why a lot of people with eating disorders, or even those who went on hunger strikes start to have immense health issues after a certain age.
This is true, but I have to stress I'm only talking like a 16-22 hour fast each day. I just think it's interesting to classify it as self harm or dieting depending on the intent behind the fast, considering the result and the harm (or lack of) is the same.
A person who fasts as a "diet" for 16-22 hours is still harming themselves, many diets are harmful. I think it is both intent and result that matters.
