Venting I cant even starve myself properply

[GTNHisLOVE]

I try my best to avoid food every day. I always end up eating a full portion at lunch. I always end up eating actual dinner. I always end up giving in and eating snacks in between.
I'm ashamed.

Sometimes I manage to actually not eat for like half a day. The way my stomach feels when its hungry is torture. I don't know how people manage to starve themselves for an entire day or more?? I wish I could do that.

I'm getting way too close to 50kg. For me, stepping on the scale is a form of sh by now. I want to lose at least 7kg in July but my lazy ass can barely skip breakfast without breaking down during work.

How do I successfully starve myself for a day, without giving into the hunger?

full disclosure - i'm in recovery for my ed now, but when i was still anorexic i used to eat one big meal a day (maybe around 500-800 calories but find what works for you), usually around nighttime. having one big meal instead of starving the entire day meant i wouldn't snack around as much.
fasting is also very painful but it gets easier around the second day and after you've broken through the first day it gets a lot easier. i would chug a lot of water, like to the point where it makes you sick and takes away your appetite, or eat ice with salt on it or something. maybe try fasting for longer and longer periods of time each day, until it reaches a day.

Very few people actually can. It's not a failure. Starving yourself is like trying to stop other bodily functions.

there are close to a billion people who going hungry each day almost one in ten people go to bed hungry every night.

Probably not bc eating is a basic human instinct (any life forms have that instinct to eat). Find other ways. Y do you want to starve? As CTB method? 50kg is probably severely underweight already.

I don't like my body. I'd like it more if it were even skinnier and tinier

Thank you so much, I'll try soon

Also a little disordered over here. Starving to death is coincidentally my chosen way out (sounds painful but it's something), I will say if you have a solid or a couple of solid goals in mind for why you're fasting it can be easier. Diet sodas, sparkling water, and a LOT of regular water (required on this one) help as well. I'm sorry you feel compelled to starve altogether but I really get it.
